I'm sorry but I don't want to be an Emperor, that's not my business. |
| [00:07.14] |
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. |
| [00:09.72] |
I should like to help everyone if possible, Jew, gentile, black man, white. |
| [00:15.13] |
We all want to help one another, human beings are like that. |
| [00:18.66] |
We all want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. |
| [00:22.06] |
We don't want to hate and despise one another. |
| [00:25.47] |
In this world there is room for everyone and the earth is rich and can provide for everyone. |
| [00:29.91] |
The way of life can be free and beautiful. |
| [00:33.01] |
But we have lost the way. |
| [00:35.11] |
Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate; |
| [00:39.98] |
has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. |
| [00:42.96] |
We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in: |
| [00:46.26] |
machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. |
| [00:49.36] |
Our knowledge has made us cynical, |
| [00:51.39] |
our cleverness hard and unkind. |
| [00:53.79] |
We think too much and feel too little: |
| [00:56.57] |
More than machinery we need humanity; |
| [00:59.32] |
More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. |
| [01:02.54] |
Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. |
| [01:07.02] |
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. |
| [01:09.92] |
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all. |
| [01:16.50] |
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, |
| [01:19.57] |
millions of despairing men, women and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. |
| [01:28.16] |
To those who can hear me I say "Do not despair". |
| [01:31.72] |
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress: |
| [01:38.71] |
the hate of men will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people, |
| [01:42.89] |
will return to the people and so long as men die liberty will never perish. . . |
| [01:50.07] |
Soldiers: don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you, |
| [01:54.83] |
who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel, |
| [01:58.87] |
who drill you, diet you, treat you as cattle, use you as cannon fodder. |
| [02:03.59] |
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts. |
| [02:09.57] |
You are not machines. You are not cattle. You are men. |
| [02:13.31] |
You have the love of humanity in your hearts. |
| [02:15.81] |
You don't hate, only the unloved hate. |
| [02:18.26] |
Only the unloved and the unnatural. |
| [02:20.30] |
Soldiers: don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty. |
| [02:23.75] |
In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written: |
| [02:25.79] |
- "The kingdom of God is within man" |
| [02:27.94] |
Not one man, nor a group of men, but in all men; in you, the people. |
| [02:32.54] |
You the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness. |
| [02:36.05] |
You the people have the power to make life free and beautiful, |
| [02:39.92] |
to make this life a wonderful adventure. |
| [02:42.57] |
Then in the name of democracy let's use that power, let us all unite. |
