 Father [FDR] started it. "Of course," he remarked, with a sly sort of assurance, "of course, after the war, one of the preconditions of any lasting peace will have to be the greatest possible freedom of trade." He paused. The P.M.'s [Churchill's] head was lowered; he was watching Father steadily, from under one eyebrow. "No artificial barriers," Father pursued. "As few favored economic agreements as possible. Opportunities for expansion. Markets open for healthy competition."

When our ancient brethren, the holy Crusaders, passed through Byzantium on their way to the tomb of the Saviour, the double-headed eagle which they saw embroidered in gold on heavy banners of silk, borne aloft by the Seljuk Turks, had been four thousand years on its way. To these same Crusaders this emblem was an honoured one, and though the enemy displayed it, yet they would fight to death for its possession and in triumph bear it, dripping with blood, to their encampments on the Levantine shore.

The Pythagorean school, flourished about 530 B.C. Very little is known about the life and personality of Pythagoras.
Besides prescribing the rules that were to govern the society, Pythagoras taught:
1.

2. The doctrine that mathematics contains the key to all philosophical knowledge, which developed into an elaborate number-theory by his followers.
3. The notion that virtue is a harmony, and may be cultivated not only by contemplation and meditation but also by the practice of gymnastics and music.
