Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races.

Excerpt from The Secret of Successful Life Men wish success in life. Men seek s'uch things as gratify desire, save from suffering, and give a sense of security and the joy of possessing power.
