Silk Silver Opium Quotes

“There is no nation, numerically as great as China … To me they are the most remarkable race on earth and I have always thought and still believe them to be the great coming rulers of the world. They only want a Chinese Peter the Great or Napoleon to make them so … and in my idle speculation upon this world’s future, I have long selected them as the combatants on one side at the great battle of Armageddon, the people of the United States of America being their opponents.”
