I Have Just Got A New Theory

Do You Really Believe That The Moon Isn’t There When Nobody Looks?

Every Day I Remind Myself That My Inner And Outer Life Are Based On The Labors Of Other Men, Living And Dead, And That I Must Exert Myself In Order To Give In The Same Measure As I Have Received And Am Still Receiving.

It Is Only Men Who Are Free, Who Create The Inventions And Intellectual Works Which To Us Moderns Make Life Worth While.

Any Government Is Evil If It Carries Within It The Tendency To Deteriorate Into Tyranny. The Danger Of Such Deterioration Is More Acute In A Country In Which The Government Has Authority Not Only Over The Armed Forces But Also Over Every Channel Of Education And Information.

I Would Absolutely Refuse Any Direct Or Indirect War Service And Would Try To Persuade My Friends To Do The Same, Regardless Of The Reasons For The Cause Of A War.
