"The identification with the common lot which is the essential idea of Democracy becomes the source and expression of social ethics. It is as though we thirsted to drink at the great wells of human experience, because we knew that a daintier or less potent draught would not carry us to the end of the journey, going forward as we must in the heat and jostle of the crowd."

-- Jane Addams

It is heartbreaking when we profess belief in these goals yet neglect the everyday conduct required to achieve them.”
