The most practical, the most dignified way of going on in the world is to take people at their word, when you have no positive reason to the contrary.

I am not fighting machinery as such, but the madness of thinking that machinery saves labor. Men save labor until thousands of them are without work and die of hunger on the streets. I want to secure employment and livelihood not only to part of the human race, but for all. I will not have the enrichment of a few at the expense of the community. At present the machine is helping a small minority to live on the exploitation of the masses. The motive force of this minority is not humanity or love of their kind, but greed and avarice.

War is an unmitigated evil. But it certainly does one good thing. It drives away fear and brings bravery to the surface.
