I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. |
| [00:05.200] |
I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. |
| [00:07.300] |
I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile, black man, white. |
| [00:12.100] |
We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. |
| [00:16.050] |
We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. |
| [00:19.100] |
We don’t want to hate and despise one another. |
| [00:21.400] |
In this world there is room for everyone. |
| [00:23.500] |
And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. |
| [00:26.400] |
The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. |
| [00:31.500] |
Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, |
| [00:36.500] |
has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. |
| [00:39.330] |
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. |
| [00:42.120] |
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. |
| [00:45.100] |
Our knowledge has made us cynical. |
| [00:47.200] |
Our cleverness, hard and unkind. |
| [00:49.300] |
We think too much and feel too little. |
| [00:52.200] |
More than machinery we need humanity. |
| [00:54.200] |
More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. |
| [00:57.800] |
Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.... |
| [01:02.600] |
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. |
| [01:04.600] |
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men |
| [01:08.100] |
cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. |
| [01:11.200] |
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world |
| [01:14.200] |
millions of despairing men, women, and little children |
| [01:17.400] |
victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. |
| [01:22.300] |
To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. |
| [01:25.800] |
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed |
| [01:29.000] |
the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. |
| [01:32.300] |
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, |
| [01:35.880] |
and the power they took from the people will return to the people. |
| [01:39.000] |
And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. |
| [01:44.000] |
Soldiers! |
| [01:45.100] |
Don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you |
| [01:48.500] |
who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! |
| [01:52.600] |
Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. |
| [01:56.500] |
Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men |
| [01:59.600] |
machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! |
| [02:02.100] |
You are not machines! |
| [02:04.200] |
You are not cattle! |
| [02:05.000] |
You are men! |
| [02:06.200] |
You have the love of humanity in your hearts! |
| [02:08.500] |
You don’t hate! |
| [02:09.700] |
Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! |
| [02:12.580] |
Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! |
| [02:16.500] |
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written:《 |
| [02:18.100] |
“the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! “ |
| [02:23.600] |
You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! |
| [02:28.100] |
You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. |
| [02:34.100] |
Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite! |
