Individual effort is almost relatively impossible to cope with the big problem of poverty as we see it.

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

I am not ashamed to say that I am the son of a washerwoman.

I don't want to be married. I don't know - it sounds crazy, but in my mind, it's all connected. You get married, you have kids, you grow old, then you die. Somehow, it seems to me, if you didn't get married, you wouldn't die.

I am only doing now what I have ever done; and ever will continue to do - that is adapting past experience to present reform in the light of high ideals and future objects.

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.
