"We do not. We keep the peace in private life by asking for the facts of provocation and the proper object of punishment. We do go into the dull details; we do enquire into the origins; we do emphatically enquire who it was that hit first. In short we do what I have done very briefly in this place. Given this it is indeed true that behind these facts there are truths; truths of a terrible of a spiritual sort. In mere fact the Germanic power has been wrong about Servia wrong about Russia wrong about Belgium wrong about England wrong about Italy. But there was a reason for its being wrong everywhere; and of that root reason which has moved half the world against it I shall speak later. For that is something too omnipresent to be proved too indisputable to be helped by detail. It is nothing less than the locating after more than a hundred years of recriminations and wrong explanations of the modern European evil: the finding of the fountain from which poison has flowed upon all the nations of the earth."
