He Who Sees The Truth, Let Him

The People Themselves Must Think, Because The People Alone Can Act.

Discovery Can Give No Right Of Ownership, For Whatever Is Discovered Must Have Been Already Here To Be Discovered. If A Man Makes A Wheelbarrow, Or A Book, Or A Picture, He Has A Moral Right To That Particular Wheelbarrow, Or Book, Or Picture, But No Right To Ask That Others Be Prevented From Making Similar Things. Such A Prohibition, Though Given For The Purpose Of Stimulating Discovery And Invention, Really In The Long Run Operates As A Check Upon Them.

The Great Work Of The Present For Every Man, And Every Organization Of Men, Who Would Improve Social Conditions, Is The Work Of Education The Propagation Of Ideas. It Is Only As It Aids This That Anything Else Can Avail. And In This Work Every One Who Can Think May Aid First By Forming Clear Ideas Himself, And Then By Endeavoring To Arouse The Thought Of Those With Whom He Comes In Contact.

I Am Firmly Convinced, As I Have Already Said, That To Effect Any Great Social Improvement, It Is Sympathy Rather Than Self-interest, The Sense Of Duty Rather Than The Desire For Self-advancement, That Must Be Appealed To. Envy Is Akin To Admiration, And It Is The Admiration That The Rich And Powerful Excite Which Secures The Perpetuation Of Aristocracies.

For Every Social Wrong There Must Be A Remedy. But The Remedy Can Be Nothing Less Than The Abolition Of The Wrong.
