| Don’t forget what I discovered—that over ninety percent of all national deficits from 1921 to 1939 were caused by payments for past, present, and future wars. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Search for Victory: American- Soviet Relations, 1939-1945, p. 27, Scholarly Resources, Inc. (1990). PSF II, Departmental Files, State Department, 1940-1941, Box 22, Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, New York, FDR to Adolph A. Berle, Jr. (June 21, 1941). This was a theme FDR harped on throughout his presidency. A first obligation of the President was to attempt arms limitation; failing this, the first obligation was to arm for defense. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| There are many circumstances that make us unjust, ambitious, or aggressive. All around us, everything is pushing us in that direction, often out of some commercial interest: I have to possess this or that object; otherwise, my life will be lamentable. The world is presented to us as essentially competitive, divided into "the winners" and "the losers," but that too is a false vision, deliberately false. It is a rapid scan of the surface, which eliminates any descent into the self, any mediation and reflection. |

| Quote of the moment |
| Throw hither all your quaint enamell'd eyes That on the green turf suck the honied showers, And purple all the ground with vernal flowers. Bring the rathe primrose that forsaken dies, The tufted crow-toe, and pale jessamine, The white pink, and the pansy freakt with jet, The glowing violet, The musk-rose, and the well-attir'd woodbine, With cowslips wan that hang the pensive head, And every flower that sad embroidery wears. |
| ~ John Milton, Lycidas. Line 139. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| Great vigilance must be maintained at all times when dealing in areas about which we do not have great understanding. This, of course, is where science can help. We consider things to be mysterious only when we do not understand them. I realize that results of inquiries are dependent on the experiments employed to achieve them. However, not finding something does not mean that it does not exist. It only proves that the experiment was incapable of finding it. It is also important to keep in mind the limitations imposed by nature itself. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, October 21, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
