"The old world order died with the setting of that day’s sun and a new world order is being born while I speak, with birth-pangs so terrible that it seems almost incredible that life could come out of such fearful suffering and such overwhelming sorrow." | by: | Nicholas Murray Butler President of Columbia University, Nobel Peace Prize winner, nominee for Vice President in 1912, and president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace |
