A State divided into a small number of rich and a large number of poor will always develop a government manipulated by the rich to protect the amenities represented by their property.

A second-class mind dealing with third-class material is hardly a necessity of life.

Civilization means, above all, an unwillingness to inflict unnecessary pain ... those of us who heedlessly accept the commands of authority cannot yet claim to be civilized men.

Historically, means cannot be separated from ends.

A healthy loyalty is not passive and complacent, but active and critical.

Those who know the normal life of the poor... will realize well enough that without economic security, liberty is not worth having.

Every State is known by the rights it maintains.
