I want a world without war, a world without insanity. I want to see people do well. I don't even think it's as much as what I want for myself. It's more what I want for the people around me.

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: - 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'

I can see things as they are, that's all, and I'm sick of this rotten business. Fools, why do have them treat you like this? What are you fighting for? Patriotism? Duty? Are you mad? Can't you see that they're just words; words coined by politicians and privateers to take care of their fighting for them.

We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected the promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world-government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the National auto-determination practiced in past centuries.

The human spirit is alive and well even under the most difficult circumstances. I think, sometimes the more difficult life becomes, the more the human spirit has a chance to shine.

I think any intelligent, superior minded, white human being, Christian, knows that paying taxes is like giving gifts to the Synagogue of Satan.

You can't have living without dying. Don't be afraid of death. Be afraid of the unlived life.
