Excerpt from The Power of Tolerance: And Other Speeches

History is chiefly a record of battle. From the beginning strife has reddened its pages - the strife essential to physical existence, the strife requisite to mental development, the strife which cleared the way for moral growth and the gratifying of spiritual longings.

It is an appalling story, that of humankind. But from whatever viewpoint we regard creation, whether of directly divine origin or indirectly divine through natural processes, the incessant struggle plainly appears as the product, not of accident, but of design.
