If I had to select four men who have had more power than any others I should mention Buddha and Christ, Pythagoras and Galileo, writes Mr Bertrand Russell in his book "Power: a New Social Analysis.” It is not ultimately by violence that men are ruled, but by the wisdom of those who appeal to the common desires of mankind, for happiness, for inward and outward peace, and for the understanding of the world in which, by no choice of our own. we have to live.
