Social Reform Is Not To Be Secured By Noise And Shouting; By Complaints And Denunciation; By The Formation Of Parties, Or The Making Of Revolutions; But By The Awakening Of Thought And The Progress Of Ideas. Until There Be Correct Thought, There Cannot Be Right Action; And When There Is Correct Thought, Right Action Will Follow.

Social Reform Is Not To Be Secured

Henry George

Social Reform Is Not To Be Secured By Noise And Shouting; By Complaints And Denunciation; By The Formation Of Parties, Or The Making Of Revolutions; But By The Awakening Of Thought And The Progress Of Ideas. Until There Be Correct Thought, There Cannot Be Right Action; And When There Is Correct Thought, Right Action Will Follow.

More From Henry George

Unless There Be Correct Thought, There Cannot Be Any Action, And When There Is Correct Thought, Right Action Will Follow.

It Is As To Whether Its Services Or Uses Are To Be Exchanged Or Not Which Makes A Tool An Article Of Capital Or Merely An Article Of Wealth. Thus, The Lathe Of A Manufacturer Used In Making Things Which Are To Be Exchanged Is Capital, While The Lathe Kept By A Gentleman For His Own Amusement Is Not.

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

The Ideal Social State Is Not That In Which Each Gets An Equal Amount Of Wealth, But In Which Each Gets In Proportion To His Contribution To The General Stock.

My Primary Object Is To Defend And Advance A Principle In Which I See The Only Possible Relief From Much That Enthralls And Degrades And Distorts, Turning Light To Darkness And Good To Evil, Rather Than To Gage A Philosopher Or Weigh A Philosophy. Yet The Examination I Propose Must Lead To A Decisive Judgment Upon Both.
