John Boyd Orr Quotes

The real evil of the Russian communist state is not communism. It is the secret police and the concentration camp Picture Quote #1
In recent times, European nations, with the use of gunpowder and other technical improvements in warfare, controlled practically the whole world. One, the British Empire, brought under one government a quarter of the earth and its inhabitants Picture Quote #1
As we have seen, the wireless and the airplane have made the world so small and nations so dependent on each other that the only alternative to war is the United States of the World Picture Quote #1
After the First World War the economic problem was no longer one of production. It was the problem of finding markets to get the output of industry and agriculture dispersed and consumed Picture Quote #1
Measured in time of transport and communication, the whole round globe is now smaller than a small European country was a hundred years ago Picture Quote #1

It is said that those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. It may well be that a war neurosis stirred up by propaganda of fear and hatred is the prelude to destruction Picture Quote #1
Some think the worst horrors of war might be avoided by an international agreement not to use atomic bombs. This is a vain hope Picture Quote #1

As I have tried to show, science, in producing the airplane and the wireless, has created a new international political environment to which governments must adjust their foreign policies Picture Quote #1
We are now physically, politically, and economically one world and nations so interdependent that the absolute national sovereignty of nations is no longer possible Picture Quote #1
Empires won by conquest have always fallen either by revolt within or by defeat by a rival Picture Quote #1
However difficult it may be to bring it about, some form of world government, with agreed international law and means of enforcing the law, is inevitable Picture Quote #1
If the views I have expressed be right, we can think of our civilization evolving with the growth of knowledge from small wandering tribes to large settled law Picture Quote #1
In the last five or six thousand years, empires one after another have arisen, waxed powerful by wars of conquest, and fallen by internal revolution or attack from without Picture Quote #1

Though the general principles of statecraft have survived the rise and fall of empires, every increase in knowledge has brought about changes in the political, economic, and social structure Picture Quote #1
When the fabric of society is so rigid that it cannot change quickly enough, adjustments are achieved by social unrest and revolutions Picture Quote #1
There can be no peace in the world so long as a large proportion of the population lack the necessities of life and believe that a change of the political and economic system will make them available. World peace must be based on world plenty Picture Quote #1
The increase of territory and power of empires by force of arms has been the policy of all great powers, and it has always been possible to get the approval of their state religion Picture Quote #1
Our civilization is now in the transition stage between the age of warring empires and a new age of world unity and peace Picture Quote #1
Our civilization has evolved through the continuous adjustment of society to the stimulus of new knowledge Picture Quote #1
