It Is Easy To Become The Dupe

We Have Learned To Say That The Good Must Be Extended To All Of Society Before It Can Be Held Secure By Any One Person Or Any One Class. But We Have Not Yet Learned To Add To That Statement, That Unless All [people] And All Classes Contribute To A Good, We Cannot Even Be Sure That It Is Worth Having.

As Democracy Modifies Our Conception Of Life, It Constantly Raises The Value And Function Of Each Member Of The Community, However Humble He May Be.

The Good We Secure For Ourselves Is Precarious And Uncertain Until It Is Secured For All Of Us And Incorporated Into Our Common Life.

I Have Come To Believe ... That The Stage May Do More Than Teach, That Much Of Our Current Moral Instruction Will Not Endure The Test Of Being Cast Into A Lifelike Mold, And When Presented In Dramatic Form Will Reveal Itself As Platitudinous And Effete. That Which May Have Sounded Like Righteous Teaching When It Was Remote And Wordy, Will Be Challenged Afresh When It Is Obliged To Simulate Life Itself.

A Wise Man Has Told Us That "men Are Once For All So Made That They Prefer A Rational World To Believe In And Live In."
