“It is evident that the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by nature a political animal.”

“To see wild life you must go forth at wild season.”

“Nature is not anthropomorphic.”

“Peace is not merely the absence of visible conflict.”

“More than just an end to war, we want an end to the beginnings of all wars.”
