Those who preach revolution to the disinherited masses give no thought to this.

It's a hard and a bad thing to live under an oppressive system; don't think that I speak lightly of the miseries which must drive many a man to frenzy, till he heeds nothing so long as the present curse is attacked.
I know perfectly well that for thousands of the poorest there is no possibility of a life guided by thought and feeling of a higher kind until they are lifted out of the mire.

But if one faces the question with a grave purpose of doing good that will endure, practical considerations must outweigh one's anger.

There is no way of lifting those poor people out of the mire; if their children's children tread on firm ground it will be the most we can hope for.

But there is a class of working people that can and should aim at a state of mind far above that which now contents them.
