So far as i can see, the atomic bomb has deadened the finest feeling that has sustained for ages. there used to be so-called laws of war, which made it tolerable. now we know the truth. war knows no law except that of might. the atomic bomb brought an empty victory but it resulted for the time being in destroying the soul of japan. what has happened to the soul of the destroying nation is yet too early to see.

I remember my very first encounter with japan. at that time, i was deputy mayor of st petersburg. out of nowhere, japan's consul general in st petersburg came to my office and said japan's ministry of foreign affairs wanted to invite me to japan. i was very surprised because i had nothing to do with japan except being a judoka. this was an opportunity to visit tokyo and a couple of other cities. and, you know, a capital is a capital everywhere: there is the official script and certain protocol. it is always easier to talk in the provinces, the conversation is more natural.
Couple Opportunity Japan
Men are four; he who knows and knows not that he knows. he is asleep; wake him. he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. he is a fool; shun him. he who knows not and knows that he knows not. he is a child; teach him. he who knows and knows that he knows. he is a king; follow him. the heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.
Kings Children Night
There are four types of men in this world: 1. the man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. the man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. the man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.
Inspirational Wise Wisdom
Japan suffered terribly from the atomic bomb but never adopted a pose of moral superiority, implying: 'we would never have done it!' the japanese know perfectly well they would have used it had they had it. they accept the idea that war is war; they give no quarter and accept none. total war, they recognize, knows no queensberry rules. if you develop a devastating new weapon during a total war, you use it; you do not put it into the war museum.
