I have evolved a whole series of social laws by which I maintain that the people should be governed, and those laws have been accepted wherever socialism flourishes.

They took me some years of my earlier life to elaborate, some years of study before I set pen to paper, some years of my later life to place before the world, and there my task practically ended.

There is nothing fresh to say about these great human problems.

They are there for any man to whom daylight comes, to see.

They are all inevitably bound up with the future of our race, but there is no need to dig further.
