"Instinct and experience alike teach us that human na- ture is not logical, that it is unwise to treat political institutions as instruments of logic, and that it is in wisely refraining from pressing conclusions to their logical end that the path of peaceful development and true reform is really found."
SIR AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN before the House of Commons, March 24, 1925
"Wenn man sich die Möglichkeit deutscher Aussen- politik vor Augen führt, wird man klar entscheiden müssen, wohin der Weg gehen soll. . . . Selbst wenn Deutschland em militärischer Machtfaktor wäre, müsste man sich. . . . darüber klar sein, dass man (mit einer Politik der Revanche) . . . . einen ganzen Weltbund gegen Deutschland erneut auf die Beine bringt. Denn das ist ja gerade die diabolische Art des Versailler Diktats gewesen dass sie an allen Ecken und Enden Unfrieden zwischen Deutschland und allen seinen Nach- barn geschaffen hat."
GUSTAV STRESEMANN September 14, 1925
