Pitirim SorokinIn war," answered the weaver, "the strong make slaves of the weak, and in peace the rich make slaves of the poor. We must work to live, and they give us such mean wages that we die. We toil for them all day long, and they heap up gold in their coffers, and our children fade away before their time, and the faces of those we love become hard and evil.

It is not in their wills to be wise or to be loving; but, unless each is both wise and loving, there can be neither wisdom nor love.
