The aspect of congresses and ...

The aspect of congresses and such meetings generally to which I attach the greatest importance is the discussion. That is why people assemble: to hear different opinions, rather than to pass resolutions.

Always we must bear in mind that law has to be substituted for power, that care must be taken to serve the interests of law.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

Waging war we understand, but...

Waging war we understand, but not waging peace, or at any rate less consciously so.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

A sign that a peace associati...

A sign that a peace association is going adrift is its exclusion of other political parties, with whom it could collaborate effectively on most of the problems besetting the cause of peace.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

But I feel convinced, and I v...

But I feel convinced, and I venture even to prophesy in this regard, that the time will come when there will also be a minister of peace in the cabinet, seated beside the ministers of war.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

Peace congresses often start ...

Peace congresses often start by dealing with some of the less important questions in excessive detail, so at the end there is no time to discuss the most important problems.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

Pacifists should stress more ...

Pacifists should stress more and more that it is the rule of law for which they are fighting.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

I would have thought it possible to choose delegates for these larger conferences who, even if they could not speak the principal languages, could at least understand them or could have friends seated beside them who could keep them informed on essential points.

It has since been agreed that speeches given in English will be translated into French and vice versa, and even into German and Italian when necessary. No doubt translations into Esperanto will also soon be in demand.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

Indeed; peace literature is almost exclusively read, though to good effect, by pacifists, while what is needed is the canvassing of those who have not so far been won to the cause.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

The last Hague Conference has in the meantime expressed its opinion that a body should be established which could prepare for the work involved more effectively than has hitherto proved possible.

There are in most states one or two ministers of war, one of whom is the minister of naval affairs.

There are many members of parliament present here who know as well as I do that, if a man has not already been converted, it will require a great deal more than a letter of appeal to achieve conversion.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

Indeed, whenever a new idea is developed, as for example ballooning, warfare immediately takes possession.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

I would rather propose a bureau somewhat similar to that which we have in the Universal Postal Union.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

There are those who believe we have need of more literature, of a large international publishing house, of a great peace newspaper, or the like. I am rather skeptical about this idea.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

This is the task, I think, of...

This is the task, I think, of a letter movement. But it should be set up only in states where a significant response can be achieved, for a letter movement necessarily presupposes a strong organization.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

There is one criticism which ...

There is one criticism which cannot be leveled at interparliamentary conferences but which is applicable to a great extent to peace congresses: the meetings waste time.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

On the other hand, the waging...

On the other hand, the waging of peace as a science, as an art, is in its infancy. But we can trace its growth, its steady progress, and the time will come when there will be particular individuals designated to assume responsibility for and leadership of this movement.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

By a great man, however, we mean a man who, because of his spiritual gifts, his character, and other qualities, deserves to be called great and who as a result earns the power to influence others.
