“Everyone strives after his own interest, harder still for his own possessions, and there appears to be no way of solving the conflicting interests in the dispute of each for his own. The way of the world is such that if one does not resist, he will be trampled underfoot, and only resistance can advance a person. It is thought, nay, openly proclaimed that principles of peace and love are unavailing in society, that one must be strong in the struggle for existence and must make oneself ever stronger, because the might of the strongest makes right. Selfishness and greed are great evils of these times and the deepest causes of war. We must make a stand against these. Only then can we work effectively for peace.”
Bl. Titus Brandsma
