The stupendous task of human regeneration will be accomplished only by the purified vision of hearts that grow not cold.

Liberty is an empty sound as long as you are kept in bondage economically.

The opportunity lies in your economic condition, whatever the political situation may be. No political rights can be of the least use to the man who is compelled to slave all his life to keep himself and family from starvation.
