...This danger would really-threaten us if the old popular doctrine of human memory were right. But it is wrong, utterly wrong; and the psychologist's laboratory message is therefore needed, indeed. It is filled with the promise of a happier future. Those hateful ideas clustered about legends and lies were grasped as weapons of war--when the war is over they have lost their purpose and at once they will fall asunder. No trace will remain; those who hated most hotly will forget most quickly. Men will look one another in the face with astonishment; the spell will...
...world goes, they are not compelled to make a sacrifice for her. But they make it, for very much the same reason that Richard Hall went to France because they "want the reassurance" of having met a world-crisis, a mighty and commanding test of right and wrong, even with the fullest sacrifice, if necessary, that a mother could offer.

...people than to the literature of their representative, shows that she was only trying to play her game of injuring us when necessary, as long as we would stand for it. Her vague "unsatisfactory" notes did not suggest blunt defiance. She never was directly hostile, and we do her wrong in saying she would have declared war on us even if we had broken off diplomatic relations. We also give Mr. Wilson a bit too much credit when we laud him for keeping us out of war, the only dangers of which were provoked by his weakness. P. W. WHITTLESEY...
