The Iron Heel

CHAPTER I
42/43

Your hands are soft with the work others have performed for you.

Your stomachs are round with the plenitude of eating." (Here Dr.Ballingford winced, and every eye glanced at his prodigious girth.
It was said he had not seen his own feet in years.) "And your minds are filled with doctrines that are buttresses of the established order.

You are as much mercenaries (sincere mercenaries, I grant) as were the men of the Swiss Guard.* Be true to your salt and your hire; guard, with your preaching, the interests of your employers; but do not come down to the working class and serve as false leaders.

You cannot honestly be in the two camps at once.
