The Will-to-live Becomes The Will-to-power.

We Take, And Must Continue To Take, Morally Hazardous Actions To Preserve Our Civilization. We Must Exercise Our Power. But We Ought Neither To Believe That A Nation Is Capable Of Perfect Disinterestedness In Its Exercise, Nor Become Complacent About A Particular Degree Of Interest And Passion Which Corrupt The Justice By Which The Exercise Of Power Is Legitimatized.

The Fence And The Boundary Line Are The Symbols Of The Spirit Of Justice. They Set The Limits Upon Each Man's Interest To Prevent One From Taking Advantage Of The Other.

The Recalcitrant Forces In The Historical Drama Have A Power And Persistence Beyond Our Reckoning.

That's Why History Is Not An Answer To Our Problem, Because History Complicates, Enlarges Every Problem Of Human Existence. Now, The Eighteenth And Nineteenth Centuries Didn't Believe This.

No Nation Can Say, 'we Will Capitulate To Tyranny Rather Than Accept A Speculative Fate - To Accept An Absolute Fate In Alternative To A Speculative One' - No Nation Can Do That.
