Civilization is a method of living, an attitude of equal respect for all men.

Private beneficence is totally inadequate to deal with the vast numbers of the city's disinherited.

Action indeed is the sole medium of expression for ethics.

We are thus brought to a conception of Democracy not merely as a sentiment which desires the well-being of all men, nor yet as a creed which believes in the essential dignity and equality of all men, but as that which affords a rule of living as well as a test of faith.

Even death itself sometimes fails to bring the dignity and serenity which one would fain associate with old age.
