"What is our hope? How can society be renovated? How can our civilization be purified? How can the State be so reconstructed as to furnish adequate protection to its subjects and all of their legitimate interests?
"My answer to each of these questions is by substituting for the law of self-interest, which now rules our social life, the law of self-sacrifice, the law by which God acts, the law which He illustrated when He became poor that we through His poverty might be rich." (J. B. Hawthorne, 1837-1910)
