“The State is competent to assign duties and draw the line between good and evil only in its immediate sphere. Beyond the limits of things necessary for its well-being, it can only give indirect help to fight the battle of life by promoting the influences which prevail against temptation--religion, education, and the distribution of wealth.” GivingWellsStatesHelpingFightingEvilLinesWealthInfluenceDutyBattleLimitsDrawsTemptationWell BeingGood And EvilSpheresDistributionPromotingCompetentIndirectDistribution Of WealthBattle Of Life Book:The History of Freedom (and other Essays) Source: The History of Freedom (and other Essays)
“My final words of advice to you are educate, agitate and organize; have faith in yourself. With justice on our side I do not see how we can loose our battle. The battle to me is a matter of joy.
