Quote by Linus Pauling
Science is the search for truth - it is not a game in which one tries to beat his opponent, to do harm to others. We need to have the spirit of science in international affairs, to make the conduct of international affairs the effort to find t he right solution, the just solution of international problems, not the effort by each nation to get the better of other nations, to do harm to them when it is possible.
Summary
This quote highlights the essence of science as a pursuit of truth, emphasizing the importance of adopting a similar mindset in international affairs. It argues against viewing international relations as a competitive game where one nation tries to outdo and harm others. Instead, the focus should be on finding cooperative and just solutions to global problems. By approaching international affairs with the spirit of science, diplomacy can be steered towards a more harmonious path, aiming for resolutions that benefit all nations rather than seeking advantage at the expense of others.
