If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

This society in which knowledge workers dominate is in danger of a new "class conflict" between the large minority of knowledge workers and the majority of workers who will make their livings through traditional ways, either by manual work... or by service work. the productivity of knowledge work - still abysmally low - will predictably become the economic challenge of the knowledge society. on it will depend the ability of the knowledge society to give decent incomes, and with them dignity and status, to non knowledge people.

There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry... there is no place for dogma in science. the scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors. our political life is also predicated on openness. we know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it and that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. and we know that as long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost, and science can never regress.

Let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to talk, think and act for myself — and i will obey every law or submit to the penalty.

The problems with this world cannot possibly be solved by sceptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. we need people who can dream of things that never were.

What we're thinking about is a peaceful planet. we're not thinking about anything else. we're not thinking about any kind of power. we're not thinking about any kind of struggles. we're not thinking about revolution or war or any of that. that's not what we want. nobody wants to get hurt. nobody wants to hurt anybody. we would all like to be able to live an uncluttered life. a simple life, a good life. and think about moving the whole human race ahead a step, or a few steps.
