We can decide to let our trials crush us, or we can convert them to new forces of good.

We bereaved are not alone. We belong to the largest company in all the world--the company of those who have known suffering.

The few own the many because they possess the means of livelihood of all ... The country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, the land speculators, and for the exploiters of labor. The majority of mankind are working people.

The majority of mankind is ground down by industrial oppression in order that the small remnant may live in ease.
