“The belief that security can be obtained by throwing a small state to the wolves is a fatal delusion.”

“A broader reading of history shows that appeasement, no matter how it is labeled, never fulfills the hopes of the appeasers.”

“We are in the greatest danger of being run over when we have just gotten out of the way of a carriage.”

“Machinery is aggressive. The weaver becomes a web, the machinist a machine. If you do not use the tools, they use you. All tools are in one sense edge-tools, and dangerous.”
