"The unforgiveable sins this earth must confront and overcome are 
 Nationalism, capitalism, and hoarding.  The idea of every nation 
 should be forgot, price should be struck from the commons, and

Let no one, then, boast of his subtlety, or let him keep his complacency to
himself.

303. Might is the sovereign of the world, and not opinion. But opinion makes
use of might. It is might that makes opinion. Gentleness is beautiful in our
opinion. Why? Because he who will dance on a rope will be alone, and I win
gather a stronger mob of people who will say that it is unbecoming.

304. The cords which bind the respect of men to each other are in general
