...rest of the world. That is what we should naturally expect, and it is quite an unjustifiable optimism on our part to believe that it is every going to be otherwise. We can only hope that the world might some day realize that it is essentially the natural friction of human relationships that is commonly misnamed the Jewish problem. There is one kind of Jewish problem, however, that is real, and that is the problem of the Jew to himself...
...armies, one for war-the organized reserves--and one for peace--the regular establishment, under different heads, coordinated only in the Secretary of War, who is not a military man.

The ability to keep cool in a crisis is unhappily too rare. Where it occurs, the crisis usually passes off without further friction. In labor disputes, perhaps more than anywhere else, violence can never be justified except as the last resort, in the face of actual danger. Its untimely use is invariably disastrous. When once we realize this, our labor conflicts will be at once less bloody and less frequent...
