卷八二九、羅素論戰爭

　　（二月十二日）

　　… In a word, it is the means of repelling hostile aggression which make hostile aggression disastrous and which generate the fear by which hostile nations come to think aggression justified.

　　Between civilized nations, therefore, non-resistance would seem not only a distant religions ideal, but the course of practical wisdom. Only pride and fear stand in the way of its adoption. But the pride of military glory might be overcome by a nobler pride and the fear might be overcome by a clearer realization of the solidity and indestructibility of a modern civilized nation.

　　〔中譯〕

　　總而言之，反抗敵國的侵略將使這種侵略變成一種災難，它使敵國產生憂慮，從而認為自己的侵略行為是正義的。

　　所以，在文明國家中，不爭主義似乎不僅是久遠的宗教理想，而且是實踐智慧的源泉。只有自傲和憂慮是接受不爭主義的障礙，但軍事榮耀可以由更高尚的自豪去克服。對現代文明國家堅不可摧的清醒認識，則有助於克服憂慮感。

　　Bertrand Russell乃當代哲學鉅子，亦發此言，可見吾所持論初非夢想妄語也。
