“But Daddy,” they have asked me, “the papers say the Atom Bomb will kill off the human race someday, is that so?” How certainly I can assure them now, believing in the impoverish ability of man as I do. People said that when the spear came into existence, and the bow and arrow, and guns and bullets, and planes and bombs. But there has been someone more powerful than all these forces, and so we are here today, greater in number, healthier in body, and more advanced in science and learning than ever.

Have patience with all this hysteria, I tell them. After all, mankind is only a youngster, like one of you. The Earth is an unknown millions of years old, while man is a mere 6,000 years of age. Mankind is still growing up, comparatively, and his growth can be likened to your own. Its like you and the neighboring children who have words and fight. Someone gets a black eye, but you make up and then you work and play together again, and as you grow more mature you fight less often because you become more intelligent. So will it be with the world.
In giving these simple facts to my children, I continually add to my own faith in mankind. I believe man is basically good in heart, spiritually indestructible, and his place in the sun is assured because he is in God’s image. I believe all these things, sincerely; but more important, my children believe them, for it is they who hold the combination to man’s future peace and happiness.
“但是，爸爸，”他們都問我，“報紙說，原子彈殺死人類的一天，是這樣嗎？”我當然可以向他們保證，現在，相信像我一樣在變窮的人的能力。人們說，當進入了存在的矛，弓箭，槍和子彈，飛機和炸彈。但一直有人比所有這些力量更強大，所以我們今天在這裡，更大的數量，在身體健康，更先進的科學和學習比以往任何時候。
有這一切歇斯底里的耐心，我告訴他們。畢竟，人類只有一個年輕人，喜歡你。地球是一個未知的數百萬歲，而男人只是一個6000歲。人類仍在增長，相對來說，可以比喻為自己和他的成長。它像你和鄰近的孩子，有話和鬥爭。有人得到一個黑色的眼睛，但你化妝，然後你的工作，再一起玩，你變得更加成熟，你經常打少，因為你變得更聰明。因此，這將是與世界同步。
在這些簡單的事實，給我的孩子，我不斷地添加到我在人類自己的信仰。我相信人基本上是良好的心，精神堅不可摧，並保證他在太陽的地方，因為他是神的形象。我相信所有這些事情，真誠的，但更重要的是，我的孩子相信他們，因為這是他們誰持有人的未來的和平與幸福的組合。
