Quote by Arthur Henderson

In almost every country there are elements of opinion which would welcome such a conclusion because they wish to return to the politics of the balance of power, unrestricted and unregulated armaments, international anarchy, and preparation for war.

Summary

This quote suggests that there are people in various countries who would support a return to a system of politics where there is a focus on maintaining a balance of power, having unrestrained arms buildup, global disorder, and preparing for war. This implies that these individuals reject the idea of promoting peace, cooperation, and regulated disarmament. Their willingness to embrace such a perspective may stem from a desire for a more chaotic and confrontational approach to international relations, rather than one that emphasizes diplomacy and collective security.

When you awaken to what I call the Authentic Self, which is the spiritual or evolutionary impulse, what begins to emerge is the dawning recognition of the fact that each one of us, at our highest level, is that Authentic Self, which is actually the same energy and intelligence that originally inspired the entire creative process. You begin to intuit and feel directly connected to the very impulse that initiated the whole event fourteen billion years ago and is driving it right now.

The motion picture is like a picture of a lady in a half-pie

The motion picture is like a picture of a lady in a half-piece bathing suit. If she wore a few more clothes, you might be intrigued. If she wore no clothes at all, you might be shocked.

Its techniques of illusion are so perfect that it requires no contribution from the audience but a mouthful of popcorn.
