1:53:01
You must speak.
1:53:04
I can't.
1:53:05
You must. It's our only hope.
1:53:11
Hope...
1:53:58
I'm sorry
but I don't want to be an emperor.

1:54:01
That's not my business.
1:54:03
I don't want to rule
or conquer anyone.

1:54:06
I should like to help everyone:
1:54:08
Jew, gentile, black man, white.
1:54:11
We all want to help one another.
Human beings are like that.

1:54:14
We want to live by each other's
happiness, not misery.

1:54:18
We don't want to hate one another.
1:54:20
In this world,
1:54:21
the good earth is rich
and can provide for everyone.

1:54:25
The way of life can be free
and beautiful

1:54:28
but we have lost the way.
1:54:30
Greed has poisoned men's souls,
1:54:33
has barricaded the world with hate,
1:54:35
has goose-stepped us into bloodshed.
1:54:38
We have developed speed
but have shut ourselves in.

1:54:41
Machinery has left us in want.
1:54:44
Our knowledge has made us cynical,
our cleverness, hard and unkind.

1:54:48
We think too much
and feel too little.

1:54:51
More than machinery
we need humanity.

1:54:53
More than cleverness
we need kindness and gentleness.

1:54:57
Without these qualities, life will
be violent and all will be lost...
