Re: The Greatest Speech Ever Made

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 men, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are
like that. We want to live by each others' 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
as 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 man; 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 and 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 a 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 seventeenth
chapter of St. Luke, it’s 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. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will
give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security.
By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They
do not fulfill their promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but
they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfill that promise! Let us fight
to free the world! To do away with national barriers! To do away with greed,
with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where
science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness.

Soldiers, in the
name of democracy, let us all unite!
