Why four great powers should fight over Serbia no fellow can understand.

I don't want boys to use their pencils for improper writing.

I recognise that Socialism has ended its purely theoretical course, and that the hour to construct has come.

In this work I have received the opposition of a number of men who only advocate the unobtainable because the immediately possible is beyond their moral courage, administrative ability, and their political prescience.

I believe, however, that impending events will call us and we must respond but where, with whom, and how?

I am depressed rather at the wave of brutality sweeping over the country.

I must firmly adhere to the views I have held and practice, that Socialism to succeed must be practical, tolerant, cohesive and consciously compromising with Progressive forces running, if not so far, in parallel lines towards its own goal.
