The world may accept something more official and general, less human and intimate. But the world will be like a broken-hearted woman who makes a humdrum marriage because she may not make a happy one; Socialism may be the world's deliverance, but it is not the world's desire.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Doing nothing is sometimes one of the highest of the duties of man.
