More From John Foster Dulles

To make positive change requires lasting commitment, lasting commitment requires measurable targets, measurable targets requires detailed action plans, detailed action plans requires a goal you desire, desire requires a positive attitude to change your life, and the option to change your life requires work. byron pulsifer, from nothing ventured, nothing gained if you deny yourself commitment, what can you do with your life?
Attitude Commitment Goal
I always have a feeling of awe and wonder at what god can do - using me as an instrument. i believe that anyone who is fully surrendered to god's will can be used gloriously - and will really know some things - and will probably be called self-righteous. you're called self-righteous if you are self-centered enough to think you know everything - but you may also be called self-righteous by the immature if you are god-centered enough to really know some things.
Believe Thinking Self
We do not become righteous by doing righteous deed but, having been made righteous, we do righteous deeds.
Deeds Made Righteous
A belief in moral absolutes should always make us more, not less, critical of both sides in any conflict. this doesn't mean that both sides are equally wrong; it means that since we all fall short of moral perfection, even the side whose cause is truly righteous may commit terrible acts of violence in defense of that cause -- and, worse, may feel quite justified in committing them. that is the difference between being righteous and being self-righteous. moral standards are absolute; but human fidelity to them is always relative.
Fall Mean Self
We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.
Peace Mean Self
Youth is a period of idealism. the communists attract young people by appealing directly to that idealism. too often, others have failed either to appeal to it or to use it and they are the losers as a consequence. we have no cause to complain if, having neglected the idealism of youth, we see others come along, take it, and harness it to their cause - and against our own.
