It Is Not From Top To Bottom

The March Of Invention Has Clothed Mankind With Powers Of Which A Century Ago The Boldest Imagination Could Not Have Dreamt.

He Who Sees The Truth, Let Him Proclaim It, Without Asking Who Is For It Or Who Is Against It.

Private Ownership Of Land Is The Nether Mill-stone. Material Progress Is The Upper Mill-stone. Between Them, With An Increasing Pressure, The Working Classes Are Being Ground.

We Have Made, And Still Are Making, Enormous Advances On Material Lines. It Is Necessary That We Commensurately Advance On Moral Lines. Civilization, As It Progresses, Requires A Higher Conscience, A Keener Sense Of Justice, A Warmer Brotherhood, A Wider, Loftier, Truer Public Spirit.

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.
