Quotes on the war of ideas

“Divisions are the mark of our time. (…) The truth is that our problem goes deeper than economics or politics. It is ideological. Divisive ideologies strive for the mastery of men's minds. Thousands follow their banners only because they see no convincing alternative. (…) There is a good road humankind must find and follow. It is a God-constructed road. It is the great high road of demcracy's inspired idelology. It is valid for any nation. It is essential for world peace.”
