- Socialists and Communists battle against the unequal conditions of the poor.
- Presumably they would be satisfied if all were on a level.
- Do you not see that this does not touch the question that is vital, namely, whether or not the people, no matter how much or how little they possess, regard it and use it in the way they should?

- The wrong way is to look on it as something we own and can use as we desire without any duty to others.
