"A government becomes worried about its ability to control its populace and its neighbors and resorts to war. Well, what then causes war? In actuality, a weakness and insecurity of government.

"If a government were very strong, if a government felt very secure, if a government could see and was well upscale, it would employ the most peaceful, quiet methods of granting beingness and getting cooperation from its various enemies—potential enemies. It would square them up, it wouldn't fight a war.

"You don't find an educated, secure man fighting with all of his neighbors. No, the person who fights his neighbors is a very insecure, not at all sane man."
