Excerpt from The Kingdom of Man

After developing a settled manner of life, his evolution became a social process in which there is need for the social virtues. From that time on his life has been involved in a struggle, periodically violent, between the primeval urge of brute predaciousness and the humane, benevolent impulses engendered by social experience and struggle. Hence, as Louis Pasteur once said; Two Opposing laws seem today to be in combat - a law of blood and death, which, daily devising new weapons of war, compels the people to be pre pared always for the battlefield; and a law of: peace, work and wel~ fare, which is concerned only with the delivery of humanity! From the scourges which beset it. The one seeks only Violent conquests; the other the relief of mankind. The one places a human life above all victories; the other would sacrifice hundreds of thousands of lives to the ambition of one man.
