| I think that both here and in England there are two schools of thought—those who would be altruistic in regard to the Germans, hoping that by loving kindness to make them Christian again—and those who would adopt a much tougher attitude. Most decidedly I belong to the latter school, for though I am not blood-thirsty, I want the Germans to know that this time at least they have definitely lost the war. |

Harrup & Co., Ltd. (1952). Roosevelt was among those who believed that Hitler had risen to power partly on the surge of conviction in Germany that they had not really lost the war in 1918, but rather that the military had been sold down the river by cowardly democratic politicians. He was determined to make sure that there was no possible misperception about whether or not the German military were defeated in the Second World War. ~ |

| Subconscious anger, if it has a parallel in Buddhist writings, would have more to do with what is called mental unhappiness or dissatisfaction, in the sense that they are regarded as the sources of anger and hostility. We can see it in terms of a lack of awareness, as well as an active misconstruing of reality. |

| Quote of the moment |
| If civilization is to survive, the principles of the Prince of Peace must be restored. Shattered trust between nations must be revived. Most important of all the will for peace on the part of peace loving nations must express itself to the end that nations that may be tempted to violate their agreements and the rights of others will desist from such a course. There must be positive endeavors to preserve peace. America hates war, America hopes for peace. Therefore, America actively engages in the search for peace. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. FDR Speaks authorized edition of speeches, 1933-1945 (recordings of Franklin Roosevelt’s public addresses), side 4, bridge dedication speech—”Quarantine” Speech at Chicago, Illinois (Oct. 5, 1937), ed. Henry Steele Commager, Introduction by Eleanor Roosevelt, Washington Records, Inc. (1960). This was part of a campaign on the part of the President to prepare Americans for the realities of an impending world conflict and the need to counteract the acts of aggression which were possibly headed toward another world war. ~ |
