My reason insists upon the inevitableness and necessity of this ultimate reconciliation.  I will do no more than I must to injure Germany further, and I will do all that I can to restore the unity of mankind.  None the less is it true that for me for all the rest of my life the Germans I shall meet, the German things I shall see, will be smeared with the blood of my people and my friends that the wilfulness of Germany has spilt.
