I have visited sweatshops, factories, and crowded slums. If I could not see it, I could smell it. The foundation of society is laid upon a basis of . . . individualism, conquest and exploitation . . . A social order such as this, built upon such wrong and basic principles, is bound to retard the development of all. The output of a cotton mill or a coal mine is considered of greater importance than the production of healthy, happy-hearted and free human beings. We, the people, are not free. Our democracy is but a name.

The greatest tragedy in life is people who have sight but no vision.

Poverty is the fundamental cause of most of the physical, moral and economic ills of humanity.

The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.

Ignorance, poverty, and greed must disappear so that light can prevail in all places.

Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others.

We, the people, are not free. Our democracy is but a name. We vote? What does that mean? It means we choose between Tweedledee and Tweedledum. We elect expensive masters to do our work for us, and then blame them because they work for themselves and for their class.
