Rebuilding Britain

CHAPTER I
17/19

Yet there are under the abused words ideas which should be the guide of life.
The third is "Love"-- an earnest and intense desire for the welfare of our fellow-men, keen joy in their happiness, keen sorrow in their troubles.

The word is out and shall not, except perhaps in a quotation, be used again.

To use the word lightly or without grave reason seems almost a breach of the third clause of the Decalogue, remembering what is said to be its equivalent by one who of all men who have lived had the most intimate means of knowing.

All work of reconstruction must be inspired by a spirit of true philanthropy; without that the labour is in vain.

There is no other motive power that can move the world in the path of true progress.
It will be said that this is both obvious and to be ignored--a platitude with a flavour of cant.
