18、to live without war? War is an ancient custom which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always evil and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern skill has changed this. Either man will stop war, or war will stop man. For the present, it is nucle
19、ar weapons that cause the greatest danger, but bacteriological( 细菌的 ) or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeeded in stopping war, there would be no danger for us. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not b
20、y contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in massacre (大屠杀 ),but by judging in accordance with agreed rules of law. It is not easy to change old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideolog
21、y (意识形态)would prevent war. I believe this to be a complete error. All ideologies are based upon beliefs without proof which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false.

22、 years has changed very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided.

23、be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that agreements should be reached even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory.

DHopeful.CTwo of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to sa
27、y those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment. My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thou
28、ght about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.

29、se “if only” moments when it comes to safety. Its equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships.

And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an
32、 hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that Im doing the right thing.
