Train The Brain For Peace Or War Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Train the Brain for Peace or War No young man ever faced a more uncertain or puzzling future than the young man of today. The old ways of life have been abandoned forever. The great war is changing everything. Governments have fallen and more are tottering, millions of men have died and hundreds of millions have been shaken from their accustomed grooves. Whole classes of society have been fired with new ideas and have been accustomed to new needs. War debts have been laid upon the peoples so heavy that to pay them off will change the whole character of industry. Among all the uncertainties that puzzle the young man who is trying to decide what to do in this most uncertain time, one thing is sure: changes are coming - changes that will affect every man, woman and child in the world. Manufacturing is already undergoing a new birth; even now nothing is as it was even a few months ago. Commerce has thrown the old plans to the winds and is working out new ways of accomplishing new ends. War has thrown whole systems of transportation into the melting pot, and it remains to be seen what will come out. What shall a young man or woman do in a topsy-turvy world? How can he prepare himself for the future at a time when the wisest man cannot tell him what the future will be like? The answer is: A broad education has one sovereign value besides its many other values: it prepares a man to meet the unexpected. War times and the strenuous days that are coming after the war are sure to demand the Trained Man. The day of the untrained man ended when the great war began. Nor is there one chance in a hundred that his day - even such a day as he once had - will ever come back. War had no use for him except as a private soldier. But the trained man - the day has passed when he can be wasted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Genesis of War and the Foundation of Peace In proceeding to disentangle and lay straight in our understanding the elements of any one of the complex problems that harass the life of the race, it is necessary to trace pres ent conditions from the1r pomt of origin. It may be said, strictly, that the finite mind is not capable of dealing with origins. But we can greatly aid our thinking by excluding inc1 dentals and thereby reducing the complexity of the problem to its simplest terms; we can return, in our thought, to that stage of de velopment Where human life included only the simple, fundamental relations and experi ences. Today it includes essentially no more. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Thoughts on Peace and War Ihave a word or two more. For the doctrines, and for the opinions of this Address, I am alone responsible. For a moment, it was but for a moment, - it was thought that a word, or a sentence or two, might have been adapted to some temporary criticism of a portion of the public press. The criticism was the probable result of an imperfect memory, or of some unhappy tendency to find fault, and this without the current excuse. It has not been heeded. The Address was written, as above stated, at short notice and when it was finished, it was done. I have given a copy for the press, in the deep conviction of its truth.

Excerpt from The Bulwarks of Peace Mankind are at length fully alive to the terrible evils of war. But, in order that everything possible may be done to avoid these evils in the future, it is necessary that those who influence the opinion of the various nations should have a clear apprehension of all the means which are available for the preservation of peace, and, at the same time, that they should appreciate the danger of placing excessive reliance upon the efficacy of any particular measure. At present there appears to be a disposition on the part of many generous minds to believe that the formation of a League of Nations for the purpose of preventing wars will in itself result in the practical maintenance of general peace. It certainly, indeed, seems probable that a confederacy of this kind, which has been advocated by several great thinkers in the course of the last few centuries, will be actually established at no distant date.

Excerpt from Peace and War SO rapid is their advance, that events in the social world are apt to leave the preconceived ideas Of philosophers in the rear. Hence the pacific movement which, for some years past, has been making considerable progress, and is likely before long to become even more extensive, has received but feeble support from philosophy. It owed its initiation to politicians and philanthropists, and they it is who are helping to develop it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
