Social Distinctions Concern Themselves Ultimately With Whom

Men Demand Everything And Are Not Satisfied Until Sex Blinds Them Into Thinking They Have Got It.

Successful Socialism Depends On The Perfectibility Of Man. Unless All, Or Nearly All, Men Are High-minded And Clear-sighted, It Isbound To Be A Rotten Failure In Any But A Physical Sense. Even Through It Is Altruism, Socialism Means Materialism. You Can Guarantee The Things Of The Body To Every One, But You Cannot Guarantee The Things Of The Spirit To Every One; You Can Guarantee Only That The Opportunity To Seek Them Shall Not Be Denied To Any One Who Chooses To Seek Them.

Ignorance Of What Real Learning Is, And A Consequent Suspicion Of It; Materialism, And A Consequent Intellectual Laxity, Both Of These Have Done Destructive Work In The Colleges.

Democracy Always Makes For Materialism, Because The Only Kind Of Equality That You Can Guarantee To A Whole People Is, Broadly Speaking, Physical.

Most Men Have Always Wanted As Much As They Could Get; And Possession Has Always Blunted The Fine Edge Of Their Altruism.
