Oh, how the world needs statesmen! And we ask again with George Bernard Shaw, "Why
not?" We have the raw material, we have the facilities, we can excel in training. We have the
spiritual climate. We must train statesmen, not demagogues; men of integrity, not weaklings who
for a mess of pottage will sell their birthright. We must develop these precious youth to know the
art of statesmanship, to know people and conditions, to know situations and problems, but men
who will be trained so thoroughly in the arts of their future work and in the basic honesties and
integrities and spiritual concepts that there will be no compromise of principle.
Spencer Kimball, Statesman
