Pàgina 181 - ... part or on the other. In this state of things I make no difficulty in affirming that the proposal ought to originate from us. Great and acknowledged force is not impaired either in effect or in opinion by an unwillingness to exert itself. The superior power may offer peace with honour and with safety. Such an offer from such a power will be attributed to magnanimity.
Pàgina 18 - Marx and I are partly responsible for the fact that the younger men have sometimes laid more stress on the economic side than it deserves.
