A Socialist State demands precisely the same human symbols as that of Fascist or Nazi, and the same surrender of human liberties if it is to succeed.

To make the State your god is to worship an idol, for the State is a man-made creation arising naturally out of tribal communion; but the soul, if such there be, is a god-made miracle and above all national or patriotic standards – the supreme and eternal reality.

Faith is a permanent and vital endowment of the human mind -- a part of reason itself. The insane alone are without it.

I had no ambition to make a fortune. Mere money-making has never been my goal, I had an ambition to build.
