More quotes by John Haynes Holmes
Society is always engaged in a vast conspiracy to preserve itself - at the expense of the new demands of each new generation.
John Haynes Holmes
No one is wise enough, no nation is important enough, no human interest is precious enough, to justify the wholesale destruction and murder which constitute the science of war.
John Haynes Holmes
Priests are no more necessary to religion than politicians are to patriotism.
John Haynes Holmes
There must appear a spiritual and moral leadership rising above economic and political situations. Governments in both their domestic and foreign policies appeal for popular support by promises of material gain. We cannot make peace by mere appeal to greed. We must give the peoples of the world something to live for as well as something to live on.
John Haynes Holmes
The thought of immortality is as well founded as any other well authenticated postulate of the human reason.
John Haynes Holmes
