Now where does all this leaves us？ It seems to me that we ought to attempt to bring about and safeguard those conditions that tend to develop the best in man. We know， for example， that the existence of fear and man’s inability to cope with fear bring about the worst in him. We know that what is true of man on a small scale can be true of society on a large scale. And today the conditions of fear in the world are. I’m afraid， affecting men everywhere. More than twenty-three hundred years ago， the Greek world， which had attained tremendous heights of creative intelligence and achievement， disintegrated under the pressure of fear. Today， too， if I have read the signs correctly in traveling around the world， there is great fear. There is fear that the human race has exhausted its margin for error and that we are sliding into another great conflict that will cancel out thousands of years of human progress. And people are fearful because they don’t want to lose the things that are more important than peace itself—moral， democratic， and spiritual values.
