I'm sorry but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business.
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.
I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew Gentile black man white.
We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that.
We want to live by each other's happiness - not by each other's misery.
We don't want to hate and despise one another.
In this world there is room for everyone.
And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men's souls has barricaded the world with hate has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities life will be violent and all will be lost
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together.
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all.
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.
To those who can hear me I say - do not despair.
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people will return to the people.
And so long as men die liberty will never perish.
Soldiers
Don't give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle use you as cannon fodder.
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts
You are not machines
You are not cattle
You are men
You have the love of humanity in your hearts
You don't hate
Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural
Soldiers Don't fight for slavery Fight for liberty
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written "the Kingdom of God is within man" - not one man nor a group of men but in all men In you
You the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness
You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite
