The industrial revolution has tended to produce everywhere great urban masses that seem to be increasingly careless of ethical standards.

The humanitarian lays stress almost solely upon breadth of knowledge and sympathy.

The humanitarian would, of course, have us meddle in foreign affairs as part of his program of world service.

We must not, however, be like the leaders of the great romantic revolt who, in their eagerness to get rid of the husk of convention, disregarded also the humane aspiration.

Act strenuously, would appear to be our faith, and right thinking will take care of itself.

A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump, faith in its future progress, and desire to serve the great cause of this progress, should be called not a humanist, but a humanitarian, and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism.

Tell him, on the contrary, that he needs, in the interest of his own happiness, to walk in the path of humility and self-control, and he will be indifferent, or even actively resentful.
