"Fraternity among nations, however, touches the deepest desire of human nature."

Nature

"No nation is so great as to be able to afford, in the long run, to remain outside an increasingly universal League of Nations."

Nation

"The World War broke out with such elemental violence, and with such resort to all means for leading or misleading public opinion, that no time was available for reflection and consideration."

Time

"The equality among all members of the League, which is provided in the statutes giving each state only one vote, cannot of course abolish the actual material inequality of the powers concerned."

Equality

"And the annual meetings of the League's Assembly are in effect official peace congresses binding on the participating states to an extent that most statesmen a quarter of a century ago would have regarded as utopian."

Peace

"It is a commonplace that the League of Nations is not yet-what its most enthusiastic protagonists intended it to be."

Nation

Expression

Peace

"But it is possible that, in the days ahead, these years we have lived through may eventually be thought of simply as a period of disturbance and regression."

Thought

"All in all, the League of Nations is not inevitably bound, as some maintain from time to time, to degenerate into an impotent appendage of first one, then another of the competing great powers."
