...but we have lost the way...greed has poisoned men's soul...let us fight ...to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason!

I am sorry but I don't want to be an emperor.

1:09

That's not my business.

1:11

I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.

1:14

I should like to help everyone:

1:16

Jew, gentile, black man, white.

1:19

We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that.

1:22

We want to live by each other's happiness, not misery.

1:26

We don't want to hate one another.

1:28

In this world,

1:29

the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.

1:33

The way of life can be free and beautiful

1:36

but we have lost the way.

1:38

Greed has poisoned men's souls,

1:41

has barricaded the world with hate,

1:43

has goose-stepped us into bloodshed.

1:46

We have developed speed but have shut ourselves in.

1:49

Machinery has left us in want.

1:52

Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness, hard and unkind.

1:56

We think too much and feel too little.

1:59

More than machinery we need humanity.

2:01

More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.

2:05

Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost...

2:09

The aeroplane and radio have brought us closer.

2:12

These inventions cry out for the goodness in man,

2:15

cry out for universal brotherhood, for the unity of us all.

2:18

Even now my voice is reaching millions,

2:21

millions of despairing men, women and children,

2:24

victims of a system that makes men torture

2:27

and imprison innocent people.

2:29

To those who can hear me I say, do not despair.

2:33

The misery upon us is but the passing of greed,

2:36

the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.

2:39

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die,

2:43

and the power they took will return to the people.

2:46

So long as men die liberty will never perish.

2:51

Soldiers, don't give yourselves to brutes,

2:54

men who despise you, enslave you,

2:56

regiment your lives, tell you what to think and feel,

3:00

who drill you, treat you like cattle and use you as cannon fodder.

3:04

Don't give yourselves to these men,

3:06

machine men with machine minds and machine hearts.

3:10

You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men!

3:14

You have the love of humanity in you.

3:16

Don't hate. Only the unloved and the unnatural hate.

3:20

Soldiers, don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty!

3:23

St Luke says, ''The Kingdom of God is within man.''

3:27

Not in one man nor a group of men, but in all men. In you!

3:31

You have the power to create machines,

3:34

the power to create happiness.

3:36

You have the power to make this life free and beautiful,

3:39

to make this life a wonderful adventure.

3:41

In the name of democracy, let us use that power.

3:44

Let us all unite, let us fight for a new world,

3:48

a world that will give men a chance to work,

3:51

that will give youth a future and old age security.

3:54

Promising these things, brutes have risen.

3:57

But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!

4:01

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people.

4:04

Now let us fight to fulfil that promise!

4:08

Let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers,

4:12

to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance.

4:15

Let us fight for a world of reason,

4:18

a world where science and progress will lead to the happiness of all.

4:22

Soldiers, in the name of democracy,
