#Eloquent words in death for a tough man free

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost… More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.

#Eloquent words in death for a tough man free

The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. In this world there is room for everyone. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white.

I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor.
