36489 | Do some of you remember the shipwreck, some twenty years ago, of a steamer homeward- bound from California? |
36489 | Do we not desire wealth for our children as the condition which shall set our minds at rest concerning them? |
36489 | Does society inherit? |
36489 | Does this encyclical tendency in the familiar æsthetics of life imply a corresponding tendency in the moral and intellectual movement of mankind? |
36489 | From all these Western splendors can this shallow soul turn away? |
36489 | From these golden fields whose overflow gives Europe food, while her human overflow gives them labor? |
36489 | How if the perfect unity were only attainable through the freedom of the natural diversity? |
36489 | How if this unity prove to be the law of which the oppositions are but one clause? |
36489 | How shall I speak of it, and tell you what it has taught me? |
36489 | How shall it be in our country, to which Nature has given the widest variety of climate, soil, and production? |
36489 | I am no prophet, and, least of all, a prophet of evil; but where, oh where, shall we find the antidote to this metallic poison? |
36489 | IS THAT ALL? |
36489 | Is man the heir of man? |
36489 | Is the sense of the unity lost in consequence? |

36489 | Oh, World, so full of corruption and of slavery, wilt thou not rather bind us with thy gangrenous fetters? |
36489 | Shall we become a lesson to the world in the opposite direction? |
36489 | Shall we not find them recorded as donors to many a noble charity, as students in many a lofty school? |
36489 | Was Franklin raw? |
36489 | Was Washington crude? |
36489 | Was it a naïve utterance on their part? |
36489 | Was it through their poverty of expression, or their want of experience, that the same word with them signified the good and the beautiful? |

19229 | A certain lack of solitude there may be perhaps, and-- Will conspicuous advertisements play any part in the landscape?... |
19229 | And as for the world beyond our urban regions? |
19229 | And how will the New Republic treat the inferior races? |
19229 | And upon that assumption, in what direction are these new motor vehicles likely to develop? |
19229 | But how does this fit into the childless, disunited, and probably shifting_ ménage_ of our second picture? |
19229 | But is it likely that this will remain a rude levy? |
19229 | But is it? |
19229 | But then, on the other hand, does the ordinary monogamic wife do that? |
19229 | But what of the Welsh- speaking Welshman? |
19229 | But why was it not invented? |
19229 | Can the wife in any sort of polygamic arrangement, or a woman of no assured status, attain to the maternal possibilities of the ideal monogamic wife? |

19229 | Spanish and Russian are mighty languages, but without a reading public how can they prevail, and what prospect of a reading public has either? |
19229 | Was its appearance then due only to the attainment of a certain necessary degree of public credit, or was it correlated with any other force? |

27518 | ''Ullo, Mrs. Fry,she laughed,"you be''bliged to be fust, then?" |
27518 | A flail? |
27518 | But did n''t the rain stop you this morning? |
27518 | Have n''t been mowing to- day, have you? |
27518 | Oh, is it? |
27518 | Old Who- is- it? 27518 Should n''t you think he could be punished for that?" |
27518 | So- and- So?... 27518 Well, you knows it now, do n''t ye?" |
27518 | Well, you_ be_ a funny little gal,_ ben''t_ ye? 27518 Where can the nest be, then? |
27518 | Where, then, was the mother? |
27518 | ''Ow''s your poor wife?... |
27518 | ''Where is he now?'' |
27518 | After all, who would know by the light of Nature how to go about sweeping a chimney, as they used to do it here, with rope and furzebush dragged down? |
27518 | Albeit any active use of leisure is out of the question, is he therefore debarred from a more tranquil enjoyment? |
27518 | And at that there came a burst of laughter, loudest from the woman, and Mr. Weatherall asked:"Did n''t you never hear that afore?" |
27518 | And what could a child get from it to kindle his enthusiasm for that civilized learning in which, none the less, it all may have its place? |
27518 | Are the seven shillings as a rule enough for so many purposes? |
27518 | Asked_ he_ to come and help me, have ye? |
27518 | But after a day like the coal- carter''s, where is the man that could even begin to refresh himself with the arts, or even the games, of civilization? |
27518 | But how could it go on? |
27518 | But is it to be wondered at if some unlovely features appear in the village character? |
27518 | But who can affirm as much of their household drudgery to- day? |
27518 | Did her jacket need mending? |
27518 | Does it seem a slight thing? |
27518 | En''t it a_ nice mornin''_?" |
27518 | Enjoying this tranquillity, I passed by a man and woman with two children, and heard the man say invitingly:"Shall I carry the basket?" |
27518 | He merely remarked wonderingly:"You would n''t ha''thought it possible he could ha''done it, would ye?" |
27518 | He sits gossiping with his family, but why should the gossip be listless and yawning? |
27518 | His account of the interview went in this way:"''How long since you done this?'' |
27518 | How do the people make both ends meet? |
27518 | How else is one to interpret that frequent middle- class outcry against education:"What are we going to do for servants?" |
27518 | I looked with rather changed sentiments, for example, upon the noisome pigsties-- for were they not a survival of a venerable thrift? |
27518 | It sounded a strange reason, for to what better use could strawberries be put? |
27518 | May we, then, conclude that the women are now in a fair way to do well; that nothing has been lost which those middle- class ideas can not make good? |
27518 | On what could they save, out of eight shillings? |
27518 | One day, years ago, an old friend of mine broke out, in his most contemptuous manner,"What d''ye think Master Dash Blank bin up to now?" |
27518 | Or were they in cheerful spirits? |
27518 | Shall we leave the matter there then? |
27518 | That St. George had become King William was natural enough; but what is to be said of changing the Turkish Knight into the Turkey Snipe? |
27518 | That miserly"thrift"which is preached to them as the whole duty of"the Poor"--what attractions can it have for their human nature? |
27518 | That they must make it in kindly temper, too, is obvious; for who would take part in it to be usually annoyed? |
27518 | The nature of their work, shall I say, tends to bring them to quietness of soul? |
27518 | They can''ave their drink at''ome, and their music, but where be we to go to if they shuts up the''ouses?" |
27518 | To what should it be attributed-- this power of facing poverty with contentment? |
27518 | Up in that nut? |
27518 | Was the social atmosphere after all anything but a creation of my own dreams? |
27518 | Was the village life really idyllic? |
27518 | Well, I dunno about_ Monday_--if Tuesday''d suit ye as well? |
27518 | Were they poor, or ill? |
27518 | What is the worth to a labourer of the crops he grows in his garden? |
27518 | What is this last? |
27518 | What should they want of leisure? |
27518 | What was the matter? |
27518 | Who taught him? |
27518 | Why should not he, to say nothing of his relations, enjoy the refreshment of talk enlivened by the play of pleasant and varied thoughts? |
27518 | Why should she have her livin''took away like that, poor old gal?... |
27518 | Why, so they were; and what more could be said? |
27518 | With like disadvantages, where are there any other people in the country who would do so bravely? |
27518 | Yet this has become such a by- word as to be usually stated with a smile; for is it not an old acquaintance amongst opinions? |
27518 | or almost, but not quite enough? |
27518 | or how else the grudging attitude taken up towards the few comforts that cottage people are able to enjoy? |
27518 | or how to scour out a watertank effectively? |
27518 | or nothing like enough? |
27518 | or where to begin upon cleaning a pigstye? |
27518 | to which the surly tones of a man replied:"''Ten''t no longer than''twas, is it?" |
46029 | And the other boy,I said,"does he go right on doing the same work?" |
46029 | And what has become of the mother? |
46029 | And you can not talk English? |
46029 | Do n''t you know that you ought to learn English that you may know we have laws and ordinances which must be obeyed? |
46029 | How can they,he said,"when they think of his social theories? |
46029 | How talk of love, of family life, in a society which deals out the same ration to the single man and to the father of a family? |
46029 | Is the church accomplishing the desired end toward the masses? |
46029 | Just look at one another,--hey? |
46029 | Rich? 46029 Tell me, how can a man get any pleasure out of life working that way?" |
46029 | Well,I said,"how about your sons? |
46029 | What were we to do at home? |
46029 | Where are your Irish? 46029 Why do you keep all these people?" |
46029 | Why, what else could I do? |
46029 | Are the conditions under which some of this work is carried on directly inimical to health? |
46029 | Are the risks which the law supposes that the workman assumes when he hires out for wages, fair risks under modern conditions of production? |
46029 | At a meeting last fall in his church, the following subjects were discussed:"What is the influence of the Sunday School on the children?" |
46029 | But as many a man said to me,"Oh what''s the use of a library when a man works twelve hours a day?" |
46029 | But then,"--with a smile,"what can you do about it?" |
46029 | But who was to blame? |
46029 | Can not engineers, foremen, employers and workmen come together in a campaign to reduce accidents? |
46029 | Can not this be done in Pittsburgh? |
46029 | Could they be bettered without serious loss to the trades and with great gain to the workers? |
46029 | Do you call that a happy home?" |
46029 | Have some got a small bird singing in their hearts whilst their hands grow grimy at the wheel?... |
46029 | How can a man live in Pittsburgh on$ 1.20 a day?" |
46029 | How goes it with them? |
46029 | How long before New York will catch up with Denmark? |
46029 | How much citizenship does Pittsburgh get out of a man who works twelve hours a day seven days a week? |
46029 | How rich?" |
46029 | How stands the case with the hospitals of Pittsburgh? |
46029 | I asked a leader among the Italians,"Why do you settle the serious cases for a few hundred dollars?" |
46029 | If this be so, is it not our privilege and duty to train these peoples of southeastern Europe in the principles of democracy? |
46029 | In the Pittsburgh situation what encouragement is there to the immigrant who seriously wants to get ahead in life? |
46029 | Is it surprising, then, that the children are sent to work at an early age and that many are raised in cramped and dirty quarters? |
46029 | Is the Pennsylvania law fair that exempts the employer from paying anything to the family of a killed alien if that family lives in a foreign country? |
46029 | Is the burden of this loss justly distributed? |
46029 | Or was it the community which had failed to meet him halfway? |
46029 | Shall we stop there? |
46029 | The daily tyranny of hard work in their lives, leaves little time for pondering the unanswerable"Why?" |
46029 | The judge asked him,"How do you like it?" |
46029 | There was fifty of them here with me sixteen years ago and now where are they? |
46029 | Was it the Slav boy? |
46029 | What are the chances of life of the men, women and children living in the one and in the other? |
46029 | What more do we know? |
46029 | What resources of their own have these families to fall back on? |
46029 | What share falls in the long run upon the community itself, in the care of the sick and dependent? |
46029 | What share of the loss is shouldered by the employer? |
46029 | What takes the place of the wages of these bread- winners? |
46029 | What trade equipment do they bring into the work with them? |
46029 | What will remain of them at the end of their lives to prove that they have lived? |
46029 | When I asked,"How do they live?" |
46029 | When the superintendent heard it, he said,"My God, what is the country coming to? |
46029 | Where else does the stranger find opportunity for recreation at his very hand? |
46029 | Will Pittsburgh as a community, as a democratic community, meet that responsibility? |
46029 | Will our friends not give us a plan for teaching our three largest trades, clothing, beer brewing, and sugar refining? |
46029 | Will the industrial communities of the nation, as democratic communities, meet their responsibility? |
46029 | Would it not be fine if this lusty son of a worthy sire, the Red Cross Christmas stamp, were to help get us started again? |
46029 | [ Illustration] The natural question rising in one''s mind is, Why did these great hordes come to America and to Pittsburgh? |
46029 | your Americans?" |
46029 | your Germans? |
46029 | your Welsh? |
20936 | But supposing one does not wish? 20936 One had it to spend"and"what business was it of theirs?" |
20936 | [ 16] But is it hell? 20936 And now a timid and troubled puritanism makes itself heard: Is there no middle way? 20936 And what does Democracy mean? 20936 And who talked of altering things at one stroke? 20936 Are not all the four quarters of the world to- day talking about Democracy? 20936 Are we to be the labour- serfs and the serfage stud- farm of the world? 20936 Are you so wicked as that, and know it? 20936 At this point we may hear a voice from the average heart of Socialism exclaim:How is this? |
20936 | But have we not been the classic land of social democracy, and have we not become that of Radicalism? |
20936 | But is the spiritual condition of an epoch to be determined by material arrangements? |
20936 | But on what, you may ask with scorn, is this thinking nation to live? |
20936 | But was this frivolity? |
20936 | Can we find our way back to its application and significance? |
20936 | Do we take it in the merely negative sense, that one is no longer obliged to put up with things? |
20936 | Do you call that having no castes? |
20936 | For the next decade the question will be, not where is the demand but where is the supply? |
20936 | For what do these qualities, as a whole, betoken? |
20936 | Has the reader followed me through five- and- thirty of these difficult folios in order to arrive in the end at that very everyday term, Spirit? |
20936 | How can there be poor people when there are no more rich?" |
20936 | How far will a new system of education tend to simplify the needs of men and women and to purify their taste? |
20936 | How otherwise shall the outlay of culture be met? |
20936 | In the harbour of the nations is our ship to drift aimlessly while every other knows its course, whether to a near or distant port? |
20936 | Is it possible so to organize the interchange of work that every one who desires intellectual employment can find it? |
20936 | Is that penurious Paradise which we have described, the goal of Germany''s hopes and struggles? |
20936 | Is the voice from the average heart answered? |
20936 | Is this not a confession of faith in materialism? |
20936 | It is ignorant, it is insincere, to put on a frown of offended virtue and to say: For shame, what are you thronging into the towns for? |
20936 | It replies:"Heritable or not, what do we care? |
20936 | It was not always so? |
20936 | May not he be the very one who is most capable of achievement? |
20936 | One man must have many at his disposal; but how can he, if they are all his equals? |
20936 | Or in the meagre sense, that responsibility goes by favour, and that the majority must decide? |
20936 | Or the dubious sense, that we are yearning to make our way through a sham Socialism to the Dollar Republic? |
20936 | Or-- is there then an"or"? |
20936 | Revolution against revolution-- how is this possible? |

20936 | The outlay will be large, but it must be feasible; how can it, if the labour of thousands is not cheap? |

22241 | How much time would a national Club like this save this nation to- day and from now on in its race with the Germans? |
22241 | I would say,"Do you see better or worse as you turn it to the right?" |
22241 | Is this Democracy? |
22241 | It really does for all practical purposes of course, but how can he make it look so? |
22241 | The Air Line League is here to ask, Why should not the consumer represent himself? |
22241 | This book is not an attempt to answer the question,"What is day after to- morrow''s news?" |

30432 | But is it men who attain? 30432 1789, 1830, 1848--are these dates branded upon our hearts, only to stamp us as patient sheep in the flock of bureaucracy? 30432 A collectivist state, it is true, might establish and endow academies; but would it ever produce a Shakespeare or a Michelangelo? 30432 And if liberty be taken on its own merits, how is it to be distinguished from anarchy? 30432 And is he prepared to stake society upon his faith? 30432 And meantime what cause is there for misgiving? 30432 And the cuckoo sings, and the blackbird, do you not hear them? 30432 And the question is, Do we trust the people? 30432 And what more can be said? 30432 And while these flourish, where is liberty? 30432 And why? 30432 And why? 30432 And, in any case, how could they understand, even with the best will in the world, the multifarious interests they are expected to control? 30432 And, that admitted, must we not descend from the mountain- top of prophecy to the dreary plains of political compromise? |
30432 | Are these hands not yours that fasten the knots? |
30432 | But abandonment to what? |
30432 | But anyhow, even granting that we could make things a bit better, what would be the use of doing it in a world like this? |
30432 | But if nature be no goddess, how can we accept her as sponsor for liberty? |
30432 | But if one denies both propositions, what happens to the superstructure? |
30432 | But if they are n''t, what becomes of all your aims, all your views, all your problems and disputes? |
30432 | But what is the value of work if there''s nothing worth working for? |
30432 | But when it does come out it''s always the same refrain,''cui bono, cui bono?'' |
30432 | But where shall the champion be found fit to wield that weapon? |
30432 | But while that shirt clings close to every limb, what avails it, in the name of liberty, to snap, here and there, a button or a lace? |
30432 | But who shall say whether it is more than a dream? |
30432 | But you want to know why? |
30432 | Can it be believed that the result would be satisfactory? |
30432 | Charity without an object? |
30432 | Criticism would have arrested the course of these men; but would the world have been the worse? |
30432 | Do I, for instance, look like a Marat or a Danton? |
30432 | Does anyone, does MacCarthy really, in a calm moment, believe all this? |
30432 | Does it not rather make it worse, if the order is such as to produce evil? |
30432 | For Christian? |
30432 | For Pagan? |
30432 | For if men, were it not for government, might be living in the garden of Eden, how comes it that they ever emerged from that paradise? |
30432 | For what profits justice unless it be the step to the throne of Olympus? |
30432 | For who are we that we should say to this man or that, go plough, keep shop, or govern the state? |
30432 | Granting then, that there were order in the universe, how does that make it any better? |
30432 | Has our friend, then, no power to dissolve the charm? |
30432 | How could it be, unless it were based upon a sound, intellectual foundation? |
30432 | How should it? |
30432 | How should they foster it? |
30432 | How, but by the due admixture of coercion? |
30432 | I once asked an American who had been describing to me the scheme of his laborious life, where it was that the fun came in? |
30432 | I wanted to say-- what was it? |
30432 | If the whole structure of the universe is bad, what''s the good of fiddling with the details? |
30432 | If they are asked by Europeans, as they sometimes are, what is the point of going so fast? |
30432 | Is his service, then, but half- hearted after all? |
30432 | Is it I? |
30432 | Is it you? |
30432 | Is not a government office everywhere synonymous with incapacity and sloth? |
30432 | Is not the very word''politician''everywhere a term of reproach? |
30432 | Is this Nature? |
30432 | Is this liberty? |
30432 | It might engender and foster religious orthodoxy; but would it have a place for the reformer or the saint? |
30432 | Money? |
30432 | Or Man? |
30432 | Or are even we here impressed by such silly and irrelevant facts as telephones and motor- cars? |
30432 | Or not even he, but God? |
30432 | Or, can it be that he has not the will? |
30432 | Or, can it be, that behind the mask of the goddess he begins to divine the teeth and claws of the brute? |
30432 | Or, if they do, turn at once away to construct some other kind of world? |
30432 | Reputation? |
30432 | Success? |
30432 | That we should say to the merchant,''thus much power shall be yours,''and to the farmer,''thus much yours?'' |
30432 | The real question is, What extraordinary, fascinating, tragic or comic life went to produce this precious specimen? |
30432 | Then, in his slow, deliberate way, he began as follows:"Why I went into politics? |
30432 | To the Middle Ages? |
30432 | To the modern world? |
30432 | Were they not the result of just such a movement as I describe? |
30432 | What are my opinions, what are Remenham''s? |
30432 | What are they? |
30432 | What do they recognize as an end? |
30432 | What else is a nation but an assemblage of the talents, the capacities, the virtues of the citizens of whom it is composed? |
30432 | What new revelation does it give of the possibilities of the world? |
30432 | What profit Faith and Hope without a goal? |
30432 | What should I trust, if I could not trust them? |
30432 | What, then, is their own? |
30432 | Where is it then? |
30432 | Where then will you turn? |
30432 | While we fetter the happy promiscuity of instinct, and subject our roving fancy to the dominion of''one unchanging wife?'' |
30432 | Who is he that with sacrilegious hands would seize our Ariel and prison him in that tree of iniquity the State? |
30432 | Who, under these circumstances is mad? |
30432 | Why did I? |
30432 | Why do you fear for your property and lives, you who fear anarchy? |
30432 | Why is the teaching of the classics now discredited among you? |
30432 | Why should not the appearance of order be but one caprice the more, or even a crowning device of calculated malice? |
30432 | Why should they, unless it is to their interest? |
30432 | Why then do you fear? |
30432 | Why, then, is it that men refuse to look them in the face? |
30432 | Why, then, should we strive and cry, even now in the twilight hour? |
30432 | Why? |
30432 | You will say that this is impracticable; but why? |
20125 | But is n''t it fine, and worth having, and are n''t you glad it was written? |
20125 | Johnny, did you throw chalk at Jimmy? |
20125 | What is it? |
20125 | What is the explanation of Wisconsin? |
20125 | Why has it been able to eliminate corruption, machine politics, and rid itself of the boss? 20125 ***** A great deal of political theory has been devoted to asking: what is the aim of government? 20125 Along what lines is investigation most needed? 20125 And if the only way he can free himself is by adultery, does not your stringent divorce law put a premium upon vice? 20125 And in the name of equality what fantasies of taxation have we not woven? 20125 And indeed, why should n''t he? 20125 And that he has spoken well, who in the perspective of time will deny? 20125 And what part of mankind did it neglect? 20125 And when a man comes to write about his philosophy he is confronted with a choice: shall the creed described be that of Marx or of the Marxians? 20125 And where are the open questions: the issues that everybody should consider, the problems that scientists should study? 20125 And where would the money have come from? 20125 And why? 20125 And yet who more than they are likely to find desire uncontrollable and seek some othermethod of expression"? |
20125 | Are we not accustomed in daily life to recognizing that the reality differs very greatly from the ideas of it that we made before we acted? |
20125 | Are we perhaps like a child whose hand is too small to span an octave on the piano? |
20125 | But how among countless suggestions is a"cause"to know the difference between a true invention and a pipe- dream? |
20125 | But how is the question to be solved? |
20125 | But if the issue is not between honesty and dishonesty, where is it? |
20125 | But in the depths of his soul there is, I suspect, some feeling which says to the politician,"Why so hot, my little sir?" |
20125 | But is it the only possible expression? |
20125 | But their proposals would require big changes in property interests, and would that be"reasonable and practical"? |
20125 | But what of those who are forbidden to marry? |
20125 | But where does the difficulty of divorce affect the causes of it? |
20125 | Can they now?" |
20125 | Confronted with the deep insurgency of labor what do capitalists and their spokesmen do? |
20125 | Did he not announce from the platform at Chicago--"we stand at Armageddon and we battle for the Lord"? |
20125 | Did not E. H. Harriman say of a well- known statistician that he could make an annual report tell any story you pleased? |
20125 | Did not the Communist Manifesto appear many years before"Das Kapital"? |
20125 | Did not the French Revolution mean the conquest of the feudal landlord by the middle- class merchant? |
20125 | Does the degree and direction of the instinct markedly differ among different individuals or races, or between the two sexes?" |
20125 | For all the other seekings of that impulse what has the Commission to offer? |
20125 | For where in the report is any thorough discussion by sociologists of the relations of business and marriage to vice? |
20125 | Have the irreconcilables a soul audacious and less blunted than our domesticated ones? |
20125 | Having read a number of articles on the tariff and ploughed through the metaphysics of the currency question, what do they do? |
20125 | How does the recommendation of a stringent and uniform law fit in with these three statements? |
20125 | How many of these recommendations see sex as an instinct which can be transmuted, and turned into one of the values of life? |
20125 | How much of this really seeks to create a fine expression of the sexual impulse? |
20125 | If a recall election is held when the people petition for it, why not all elections? |
20125 | If lust will seek an expression, are all expressions of it necessarily evil? |
20125 | If men find statecraft uninteresting, may it not be that statecraft_ is_ uninteresting? |
20125 | If you bind a man tightly to a woman he does not love, and, possibly prevent him from marrying one he does love, how do you add to his virtue? |
20125 | If you really represented the country in its government, would you not get its partisanship in a quintessential form? |
20125 | If you wanted to educate a child, would you teach him to read one play of Shakespeare, or would you teach him to_ read_? |
20125 | In the supremely important subject of literacy, what classification yet devised can weigh the culture of masses of people? |
20125 | Is civilization perhaps too tightly organized? |
20125 | Is it asking too much of a statesman if we expect him to know political theory and to balance it with the facts he sees? |
20125 | Is it not possible that graft is the cracking and bursting of the receptacles in which we have tried to constrain the business of this country? |
20125 | Is it possible that Republicans, Democrats and Socialists clip the wings more than free spirits can allow? |
20125 | Is this not a contributing factor to the futility and opacity of our political thinking? |
20125 | May not this constant dodging or hurdling of statutes be a sign that there is something the matter with the statutes? |
20125 | Must we continue to muddle along in the old ruts, gazing rapturously at an impotent ideal, until the works of the scientists are matured? |
20125 | Suppose we recognize that creeds are instruments of the will, how would it alter the character of our thinking? |
20125 | The Commission was n''t afraid of details: did n''t it recommend searchlights in the parks as a weapon against vice? |
20125 | The discussion turned principally on two points: were rent, interest and dividends_ earned_? |
20125 | The statesman would ask, Why are there syndicalists? |
20125 | They could, but will they? |
20125 | To put it mildly, is it ever safe to ignore them entirely in our thinking? |
20125 | To what problems, what issues, shall we give our attention? |
20125 | To- day women want-- what? |
20125 | Was collective ownership of capital a feasible scheme? |
20125 | Well may Mr. Hobson inquire,_"Now, what provision is made for generating the motor power of progress in Collectivism? |
20125 | Were the single- taxers, the Socialists consulted? |
20125 | What are they driving at? |
20125 | What did the Commission have in mind? |
20125 | What did this nation do with it? |
20125 | What energies did it transmute? |
20125 | What gift to civilization is in the impetus behind them? |
20125 | What if political methods existed in the realm of business? |
20125 | What insight into reality can a man possess who is capable of discussing politics and ignoring politicians? |
20125 | What is more natural than that they should be the Ultimate Watchers? |
20125 | What is the cause of the efficiency, the thoroughness, the desire to serve which animate the state? |
20125 | What is the debatable ground in this territory? |
20125 | What is there left but to gasp and wonder whether the words of the intellect have anything to do with the facts of life? |
20125 | What kind of naïvetà © was it that led this educator into asking such a question? |
20125 | What matters the method, he will cry, provided the reform be good? |
20125 | What needs did it answer? |
20125 | What reality could there be in comments upon American politics which ignored the colossal phenomenon of Roosevelt? |
20125 | What shall we call an idea, objectively untrue, but practically of the highest importance? |
20125 | What stands between Chicago and civilization? |
20125 | What then shall we do now? |
20125 | What was the result? |
20125 | When a judge sets out to"interpret"the Constitution, what is it that he does? |
20125 | Where are the detailed proposals by specialists, for decent housing and working conditions, for educational reform, for play facilities? |
20125 | Where are the doubts that should have honored these investigations, the frank statement of all the gaps in knowledge, and the obscurities in morals? |
20125 | Where did it begin to do violence to human nature? |
20125 | Where has it helped them, where hindered? |
20125 | Where there is no choice, of what importance is opinion? |
20125 | Who has not known this in thinking of politics? |
20125 | Why are the sexual problems not even stated? |
20125 | Why has Wisconsin succeeded where other states have uniformly failed? |
20125 | Why not abolish all the devil''s works? |
20125 | Why should not the Social Revolution mean the victory of the proletariat over the bourgeoisie? |
20125 | Why then is n''t there a budget, a large, comprehensive budget, precise and informing, in which provision is made for beginning to civilize Chicago? |
20125 | Why then were we not taken into their confidence? |
20125 | Why? |
20125 | Why? |
20125 | With such a history how could a nation fail to see in its constitution anything but a tool of life, like the axe, the spade or the plough? |
20125 | Would not our legislatures be cut up into antagonistic parties, would not the conflicts of the nation be concentrated into one heated hall? |
20125 | Would the session not become an interminable wrangle? |
20125 | Yet who does not feel its isolation in that brutal city? |
20125 | he protested,"it is n''t criticism for it''s half rhapsody; it is n''t rhapsody because it is analytical.... What is it? |
20125 | what travesties of justice set up? |
28315 | All right,I said,"what do you think you can do?" |
28315 | All we have? |
28315 | And the kind we''ve always had? |
28315 | And we''d be one out of a thousand if we did n''t make good, would n''t we? |
28315 | And why do they? |
28315 | And you have enough left over to put up a house? |
28315 | Are you doing anything to remedy it? |
28315 | Are you going far? |
28315 | But look here,I said;"what''s the good of a raise if we do n''t use it?" |
28315 | But what are you going to do now? |
28315 | Carleton,he said,"what''s the matter?" |
28315 | Children in school? |
28315 | Did n''t you find the things I laid out for you? |
28315 | Do you know what one fellow in our class makes right through the year? |
28315 | Do you want me to put on a high collar? |
28315 | Do_ you_ know? |
28315 | Eh? |
28315 | Emigrate? |
28315 | Ha Ella il di Lei pane? |
28315 | Ha Ella il mio zucchero? |
28315 | Have they been talking about you? |
28315 | Have you been to the rallies and met the men and studied their methods? |
28315 | Have you shaved? |
28315 | How do they, Billy? |
28315 | How do you know that? |
28315 | How have they? |
28315 | How much? |
28315 | How old are you, Murphy? |
28315 | I''ll do it, Billy,she said bravely,"but ca n''t we wait a day or two before deciding? |
28315 | Let me see, you went off to Australia or somewhere, did n''t you, Carleton? |
28315 | Matter with it? 28315 No, Billy,"she said, with a sigh,"there is n''t, is there?" |
28315 | Oh, Billy,she cried,"it''s good news?" |
28315 | Old, sor? |
28315 | Phot do yez mane? |
28315 | Phot''s the mather with Sweeney, now? |
28315 | Sure you can do that? |
28315 | Then what are you going to do about it? |
28315 | Then you resign? |
28315 | Then,I said,"why not educate the young politicians? |
28315 | There are so many beautiful things,he used to exclaim excitedly in broken English;"why should they want to make anything that is not beautiful?" |
28315 | Well, Billy,she said,"it ca n''t be helped, can it? |
28315 | Well,I said,"what do you think of him?" |
28315 | Well? |
28315 | What about the other party? |
28315 | What do the boys round here do in the summer? |
28315 | What do they do? |
28315 | What do you make on a paper? |
28315 | What do you mean? |
28315 | What of the boy? |
28315 | What would he do here? |
28315 | What''s his business? |
28315 | What''s the good of a raise if we spend it? |
28315 | What''s the matter with it? |
28315 | What''s the matter with selling papers? |
28315 | What''s the matter? |
28315 | What_ can_ you do? |
28315 | Where did you get this? |
28315 | Where shall we address you? |
28315 | Where then, Billy? |
28315 | Where to? |
28315 | Who ordered you out of there? |
28315 | Why do n''t you bring him in here? |
28315 | Why do they? 28315 Why do they?" |
28315 | Why the poor little thing--"What poor little thing? |
28315 | Will they? |
28315 | With steak thirty cents a pound? |
28315 | Would you? |
28315 | You are n''t fired? |
28315 | You came to America broke? |
28315 | You do n''t mean to tell me you''re that much ahead of the game the first week? |
28315 | You have a wife and children? |
28315 | You mean city contracts? |
28315 | You mean to tell me that you''re putting up a house? |
28315 | You''re still with the leather firm? |
28315 | You''ve seen the big ships come in along the water- front? 28315 Advantages? 28315 Again and again the question was forced in upon me-- what the devil was I? 28315 And yet what did it amount to? 28315 And yet what was the old stock doing to offset such personal ambition and energy as Rafferty stood for? 28315 At the end of that time two questions were burned into my brain:What can you do?" |
28315 | Billy-- we ca n''t allow a family in the same house with us to suffer like that, can we?" |
28315 | But just what else had this experience made of me? |
28315 | But what could I do? |
28315 | But what did that mean? |
28315 | Do n''t you think I can do it?" |
28315 | Giuseppe would say,"Ha Ella il mio cappello?" |
28315 | God pity the poor? |
28315 | He had one paper in his hand and was offering it, perhaps a bit shyly, to each passer- by with a quiet,"Paper, sir?" |
28315 | However quite apart from this, was n''t Rafferty to- day a better citizen than I? |
28315 | I guess we can squeeze out fifty cents for them, ca n''t we, Billy?" |
28315 | I suppose you''re going west?" |
28315 | I was getting all I wanted to eat, was warm and had a good clean bed to sleep in and what more can a man have even if he''s earning a hundred a week? |
28315 | If he did n''t what would become of his trim little house? |
28315 | Is n''t a man always sure to do some such fool thing as that, when he''s trying to keep something quiet from the wife? |
28315 | It was white of him, was n''t it? |
28315 | Or what drives them into the army or to work on railroads when they neither expect nor hope to be advanced? |
28315 | Ruth listened and then she said:"But is n''t it a pity that the boys_ are_ toughened, Billy?" |
28315 | She cut in excitedly:"Then we''re going out west?" |
28315 | Some of the boys will stand by you, wo n''t they?" |
28315 | Such organization as this was going on in other lines of business, why not in this? |
28315 | That was honest work-- clean work; but if I attempted it would they play golf with me? |
28315 | Then he asked quickly,"Where''s mother?" |
28315 | They showed me their blue prints and their rough estimate and then Mr. Corkery said:"How much can you take off that, Carleton?" |
28315 | Was an electric elevator a fair swap for my roof? |
28315 | Was it actually possible that a man could starve in such a community? |
28315 | Was their apartment- house friendship, however polished, worth the simple genuine fellowship I enjoyed among my present neighbors? |
28315 | What could such a life offer me for my soul''s or my body''s good that I did n''t have here? |
28315 | What else did living mean for her? |
28315 | What sort of a job was I going to apply for? |
28315 | What the devil was I, after twenty years of hard work? |
28315 | What was my profession, anyway? |
28315 | What were they? |
28315 | What''s the use of clinging to the notion that a man lives to eat? |
28315 | Where to?" |
28315 | Why ca n''t a man lay bricks without the theatre? |
28315 | Why do n''t you put him into some of those?" |
28315 | Why in Heaven''s name ca n''t they shovel dirt on the same diet? |
28315 | Why not get down to bed rock at once and face the fact that a man does n''t need the bill of fare of a modern hotel or any substitute for it? |
28315 | Why should I not learn this business of contracting and building and some day contract and build for myself? |
28315 | Why should I not take the initiative in some of these progressive enterprises? |
28315 | Why was n''t it like buying and selling anything? |
28315 | Why, in time, should I not become the employer? |
28315 | and"How old are you?" |
3630 | And how old are you? |
3630 | Are your parents alive? |
3630 | But what do you want? |
3630 | He repudiates science and art, he wants to send people back again into a savage state; so what is the use of listening to him and of talking to him? |
3630 | How is this? |
3630 | I will come; why should I not come? 3630 Is it hard?" |
3630 | Is that forbidden? |
3630 | Really? 3630 So they are to be allowed to die of hunger and cold?" |
3630 | Well, but if a place could be found somewhere as cook? |
3630 | Well, how did it turn out? 3630 Well, what then?" |
3630 | What are city life and city poverty? 3630 What do you live on?" |
3630 | What is he doing to the sidewalk? |
3630 | What is to be done? |
3630 | What is your business? |
3630 | What then? |
3630 | What to do? 3630 What, many of them?" |
3630 | Where am I to go? |
3630 | Who knows? |
3630 | Why am I going to gaze on the sufferings of people whom I can not help? |
3630 | Why are you taking care of it? |
3630 | Why is it forbidden here in Moscow to ask alms in Christ''s name? |
3630 | Why not? 3630 Why should they die? |
3630 | Why? |
3630 | --"Well, what of that? |
3630 | After a conflagration, one can warm one''s self, and light one''s pipe with a firebrand; but why declare that the conflagration is beneficial? |
3630 | And I began to reflect: why had this caused me such shame? |
3630 | And I, with the object of benefiting and reclaiming him, had taken him to my house, where he saw-- what? |
3630 | And how about Petersburg and the other cities?" |
3630 | And how about the division of labor?" |
3630 | And how many households are there in Russia alone, do you think? |
3630 | And if not we, who then? |
3630 | And so I have accumulated a great deal of money in that way, and what do I do with it? |
3630 | And such a man will never answer the question,"What is to be done?" |
3630 | And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? |
3630 | And this confession of a man''s obligation constitutes the gist of the third answer to the question,"What is to be done?" |
3630 | And what is it necessary for me to do, in order to comply with the requirements imposed upon me by the demands of individual and universal welfare? |
3630 | And what is to be done with the remaining eleven hours? |
3630 | And when the people asked him,"What are we to do?" |
3630 | And why should not this"some time"be now, and in Moscow? |
3630 | And why, above all, take away from the country that which dwellers in the country need,--flour, oats, horses, and cattle? |
3630 | And why, apparently, should art not be of service to the people? |
3630 | And, as we are indebted for all this marvellous progress to the division of labor, why not acknowledge it? |
3630 | And, in fact, how am I to answer the question,"What is to be done?" |
3630 | And, what then? |
3630 | Another man came up, and stumbled over the laundress, and said to the potter:"What drunken woman is this wallowing at your gate? |
3630 | Are not the changes which public opinion is now preparing clear? |
3630 | Are there a million?" |
3630 | Are there many of them there?" |
3630 | Are they to blame?" |
3630 | Are you a self- satisfied rich man who wants to enjoy our wretchedness, to get rid of his tedium, and to torment us still more? |
3630 | As a matter of fact, what is my money, and whence did it come into my possession? |
3630 | Before that time I had not been able to answer the question:"What is to be done?" |
3630 | But I am asked: What do you mean by_ working over them_? |
3630 | But how does this come about? |
3630 | But it has become the fashion with us to say, that"this is so in theory, but how about the practice?" |
3630 | But what can one man do amid a throng which does not agree with him? |
3630 | But what does it mean, that some people and their children toil, while other people and their children do not toil? |
3630 | But what facts? |
3630 | But what have we added to the popular_ bylini_[ the epic songs], legends, tales, songs? |
3630 | But what have we taught them, and what are we now teaching them? |
3630 | But what is it that you have given? |
3630 | But what is to be done? |
3630 | But who is the poor man? |
3630 | But who will make these boots and this calico? |
3630 | But why are some of them caught and locked up somewhere, while others are left alone? |
3630 | But why not hope that every thing will be accomplished? |
3630 | But why not think and hope that more and yet more will be done? |
3630 | But why should we dress ourselves, wash and comb our hair? |
3630 | Do you suppose I like to beg? |
3630 | Does not this peculiar good fortune arise from the fact that man can not and will not see his own hideousness? |
3630 | First of all, in answer to the question,"What is to be done?" |
3630 | For the uninitiated man the question immediately presents itself:"What are you talking about? |
3630 | Get along, what do you mean by it? |
3630 | Had the question then stood as it stands before me now, after I have repented,--"What am I, so corrupt a man, to do?" |
3630 | Have they arrested him?" |
3630 | He said, in a peculiar, scornful, hasty tone, such as is employed towards dogs:"What do you jabber in that careless way for? |
3630 | Hence I think, that the man who will honestly put to himself the question,"What is to be done?" |
3630 | How can a man think it necessary to do so and so, and then do the contrary? |
3630 | How can one help a man who does not disclose his whole condition? |
3630 | How can one take an interest in the proposition of a man, in regard to something absolutely impossible? |
3630 | How can we fail to accept so very beautiful a theory? |
3630 | How did this come to pass? |
3630 | How do the rich order their lives there? |
3630 | How has this happened? |
3630 | How is this to be effected? |
3630 | How, in this fashion, make recompense with that education and those talents, for what I have taken, and for what I still take, from the people?" |
3630 | How, then, can the necessity for burdensome, oppressive toil be more profitable for people? |
3630 | I already hear the customary remark:"All this is very fine, these are sounding phrases; but do you tell us what to do and how to do it?" |
3630 | I am always surprised by the oft- repeated words:"Yes, this is so in theory, but how is it in practice?" |
3630 | I ask him who is he, whence comes he? |
3630 | I asked her,--it puts me to shame, my hand refuses to write it,--I asked her whether it was true that she had nothing to eat? |
3630 | I asked him:"Is it true that the poor are forbidden to ask alms in Christ''s name?" |
3630 | I asked the boy:"And do you live here?" |
3630 | I came near breaking my head over her; take her away, wo n''t you?" |
3630 | I did not comprehend, and again I inquired:"What is your means of livelihood?" |
3630 | I force no one''s inclination: I hire, and what harm is there in that?" |
3630 | I halted and asked the police- officer,"What is it?" |
3630 | I inquired where he came from? |
3630 | I inquired:"For what was this peasant arrested?" |
3630 | I inquired:"Is this your child?" |
3630 | I inquired:"What for?" |
3630 | I inquired:"What is that for?" |
3630 | I often hear the questions of good young men who sympathize with the renunciatory part of my writings, and who ask,"Well, and what then shall I do? |
3630 | If I give to a man who steps in from the street one ruble or twenty kopeks, why should not I give her a ruble also? |
3630 | If the opinion of the revolutionists is correct, what must be done? |
3630 | In all eyes the question was expressed:"Why have you, a man from another world, halted here beside us? |
3630 | In answer to the question, Would not this unaccustomed toil ruin that health which is indispensable in order to render service to the people possible? |
3630 | Is it a bad thing, according to the Gospel, to clothe the naked, and feed the hungry?" |
3630 | Is it necessary to render assistance in that way? |
3630 | Is that alms? |
3630 | Is there not something re- assuring in this? |
3630 | It is very possible that this is so; but still the question remains, Of what nature is that division of labor which I behold in my human society? |
3630 | It was impossible, was it not, to take a child who had lived in a den of iniquity in among my own children? |
3630 | John the Baptist, in answer to the question of the people,--What were they to do? |
3630 | Money does represent labor; but whose? |
3630 | More profitable for whom? |
3630 | One of the boys clad in a great- coat and a visorless cap, heard her words and halted:"What are you scolding about?" |
3630 | Or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? |
3630 | Other people have begun it, and have wrought mischief; then why should not I take advantage of it? |
3630 | Our position is a very difficult one, but why not look at it squarely? |
3630 | Precisely what to do?" |
3630 | She laughed, and said:"And who would take me in with my yellow ticket?" |
3630 | Surely I can not say,"Why do not you eat hay, when it is the indispensable food?" |
3630 | Surely it is not we who have done this? |
3630 | The man with the sword and pistol gazed sternly at me, and said:"What business is it of yours?" |
3630 | The young man asked a woman"whether she had seen the census- takers?" |
3630 | Then how are our ladies to reform this woman and her daughter? |
3630 | Then how can this be more profitable for men? |
3630 | Then said I: Lord, how long? |
3630 | Then why should I deprive myself of velvet and confections and cigarettes and clean shirts, if things are definitively settled thus? |
3630 | Then, what is the outcome of this? |
3630 | Then, what is to be done? |
3630 | Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? |
3630 | These, then, are the answers which I have found for myself to the question,"What is to be done?" |
3630 | They can in no wise solve the problem,"What to do?" |
3630 | They, poor things, have done what is considered right by their elders; but how are their elders to explain away this their cruelty to the people? |
3630 | This assistance had been rendered before my advent, and rendered by whom? |
3630 | This is the lie of which we must not be guilty if we are to be in a position to answer the question:"What is to be done?" |
3630 | This was the case with me; and then another, arising from the first answer to the question:"What is to be done?" |
3630 | To the question,"What is it necessary to do?" |
3630 | To the question,"Who was she?" |
3630 | To the question,"Will it not seem strange to people if you do this?" |
3630 | To what do the conservatives point? |
3630 | To what do the revolutionists point? |
3630 | Transcribed from the 1887 Tomas Y. Crowell edition by David Price, email ccx074@pglaf.org WHAT TO DO? |
3630 | We have invented telegraphs, telephones, phonographs; but what advances have we effected in the life, in the labor, of the people? |
3630 | Well, and what of that? |
3630 | Well, what will happen if I wear a soiled shirt, and make my own cigarettes? |
3630 | What am I to do, now that I have finished my course in the university, or in some other institution, in order that I may be of use?" |
3630 | What are we to do? |
3630 | What did he really give, and what did I really give? |
3630 | What difference will it make if I wear one shirt a week, and make may own cigarettes, or do not smoke at all? |
3630 | What does property signify? |
3630 | What does that power which has created and which leads me, demand of me and of every man? |
3630 | What does this census, that is about to be made, mean for us people of Moscow, who are not men of science? |
3630 | What except shame could I feel, when I entered into communion with these people? |
3630 | What harm is there in that? |
3630 | What if the Moscow Zaccheuses were to do the same that he did? |
3630 | What is it that I wish in reality? |
3630 | What is the inference? |
3630 | What is the meaning of giving away one garment out of two, and half of one''s food? |
3630 | What is the meaning of this:_ to earn one''s livelihood in the city_? |
3630 | What is there wrong about that? |
3630 | What music, what pictures, have we given to the people? |
3630 | What must be done? |
3630 | What ought I to have given, in order to do what Semyon had done? |
3630 | What should I say when I was asked what I wanted there? |
3630 | What sort of shame was this? |
3630 | What was its nature? |
3630 | What would become of my old valet if I were to discharge him? |
3630 | What would he do if he were doing it for the sake of his own undoubted good and the good of others? |
3630 | What would it be if this labor were something really worth their while? |
3630 | What, in point of fact, is that money which I give to the poor, and which the cook''s wife thought I was giving to her? |
3630 | What, then, was I to do? |
3630 | Where are such people to be found? |
3630 | Where lies the root of all this? |
3630 | Which of us-- man or woman-- will correct her false view of life? |
3630 | Who are you? |
3630 | Who is she?" |
3630 | Who is there that does not know people, especially women, who reckon this cleanliness in themselves as a great virtue? |
3630 | Whom do I injure,--I, the most inoffensive and kindest of men? |
3630 | Why are they such fools as to give birth to children, when they know that there will be nothing for the children to eat? |
3630 | Why did these men toil, while those others begged? |
3630 | Why is it a stupid business to help thousands, at any rate hundreds, of unfortunate beings? |
3630 | Why is mankind an organism, or similar to an organism?" |
3630 | Why is there nothing left of those sciences, and sophists, and Cabalists, and Talmudists, but words, while we are so exceptionally happy? |
3630 | Why not hope that some the people will wake up, and will comprehend that every thing else is a delusion, but that this is the only work in life? |
3630 | Why not think that we shall at last come to apprehend this? |
3630 | Why precisely these facts, and no others? |
3630 | Why should we not think and expect that the cells of our society will acquire fresh life and re- invigorate the organism? |
3630 | Why were there so many of them here? |
3630 | Why, what degree of lunacy can be more frightful than this? |
3630 | Why, when I am living in the city, can not I help the city poor?" |
3630 | Will that make it easier for anybody else? |
3630 | With regard to the question,"Is it necessary to organize this physical labor, to institute an association in the country, on my land?" |
3630 | Yes, but of whose toil? |
3630 | [ Then what are we to do? |
3630 | [ What else could he see in me but one of those persons who have got possession of what belongs to him? |
3630 | and in what did their peculiarity, as opposed to the country poor, consist? |
3630 | and who is not acquainted with the devices of this cleanliness, which know no bounds, when it can command the labor of others? |
3630 | is it that division of labor which should exist? |
3630 | or are you that thing which does not and can not exist,--a man who pities us?" |
3630 | or, What shall we drink? |
3630 | we must all do every thing necessary,--make our clothes and hew wood? |
3630 | what is it?" |
3630 | whither? |
3630 | why do n''t you bring her in?" |
3630 | why should we hand chairs to ladies, to guests? |
3630 | why should we open and shut doors, hand ladies, into carriages, and do a hundred other things which serfs formerly did for us? |
3630 | { 122a} Who am I, that I should desire to help others? |
1140 | Am I not a horse, and half- brother? |
1140 | And for that, what is the method? |
1140 | I, then, am the Ablest of English attainable Men? 1140 Really, one of the most difficult questions this we have in these times, What to do with our criminals?" |
1140 | Reforming Pope? |
1140 | We can not,say you? |
1140 | What method, then; by what method? |
1140 | What they have done? |
1140 | What to do with our criminals? |
1140 | Work, for you? 1140 _ Ichabod_; is the glory departing from us? |
1140 | _ Quiet_ Anarchy,you exultingly say? |
1140 | --"Gold, so much gold?" |
1140 | --"I''ll thank you for a definition of Justice?" |
1140 | --Are there many such, who will answer to the call, in England? |
1140 | --But can not he reform? |
1140 | --of him what hope is there? |
1140 | --what will become of such a man? |
1140 | A Mrs. Manning"dying game,"--alas, is not that the foiled potentiality of a kind of heroine too? |
1140 | A Parliament of the Paris pattern, such as we see just now, might be extracted: and from that? |
1140 | A divine gift, that? |
1140 | A ration this?" |
1140 | About to break up that huge imposthume too, by''curing''it? |
1140 | Again I ask, Why make an example of me, for your own convenience alone?" |
1140 | An excellent human soul, direct from Heaven,--how shall any excellence of man become recognizable to this unfortunate? |
1140 | And Farmer Hodge sallying forth, on a dry spring morning, with a sieve of oats in his hand, and agony of eager expectation in his heart, is he happy? |
1140 | And alas, if you_ know_ only the eloquent fallacious semblance of the truth, what chance is there of your ever doing it? |
1140 | And if this is so, then surely the question, How these Governments came to sink for_ want_ of intellect? |
1140 | And now by what method ascertain the monition of the gods in regard to our affairs? |
1140 | And upon that latter you are to act;--with what success, do you expect? |
1140 | And we have changed all that; no- government is now the best; and a tailor''s foreman, who gives no trouble, is preferable to any other for governing? |
1140 | And yet Governments, it would appear, could by no means get enough of it; almost none of it came their way: what had become of it? |
1140 | And yet one would think the Majesty''s Chief Governor ought to have a kind of interest in the thing? |
1140 | And yet who would not, in his heart of hearts, feel piously thankful that Imposture has fallen bankrupt? |
1140 | And, truly, good consequences follow out of it: who can be blind to them? |
1140 | Any concern at all, except that of handsomely keeping apart from them? |
1140 | Are you too foolish?" |
1140 | Are''solemnly constituted Impostors''the proper Kings of men? |
1140 | As for Protectionist jargon, who in these earnest days would occupy many moments of his time with that? |
1140 | As perhaps Heaven, in its infinite bounty, by stern methods, gradually will? |
1140 | As your ally and coadjutor; or failing that, as your natural enemy: which shall it be? |
1140 | Bay Darby, wilt not thou perhaps? |
1140 | British Liberty produces-- what? |
1140 | Brotherhood? |
1140 | But do you wish his empty speech of what he believes, to become farther an insincere speech of what he does not believe? |
1140 | But have we well considered a divergence_ in thought_ from what is the fact? |
1140 | But if Nature and Fact do_ not_ love him? |
1140 | But if it is not, and never was, or can be? |
1140 | But if you do enter, the condition is well known:"Talk; who can talk best here? |
1140 | But the question,"Are we to continue subjects of her Majesty, or start rebelling against her? |
1140 | But what am I to say of heaven- born Pitt the son of Chatham? |
1140 | But, alas, what next? |
1140 | Can anything be more unreasonable than a Seventy- four? |
1140 | Christian Religion? |
1140 | Did not cotton spin itself, beef grow, and groceries and spiceries come in from the East and the West, quite comfortably by the side of shams? |
1140 | Did you think the Life of Man was a grimacing dance of apes? |
1140 | Do I make myself plain to Mr. Peter''s understanding? |
1140 | Do not you interrupt me, but try to understand and help me!----"Work, was I saying? |
1140 | Do you call that a good trade? |
1140 | Does he, in any sense,"think"? |
1140 | Does the Christian or any religion prescribe love of scoundrels, then? |
1140 | Education, kingship, command,--where is it, whither has it fled? |
1140 | Elderly men can remember the tar- barrels burnt for success and thrice- immortal victory in the business; and yet what result had we? |
1140 | Emancipation? |
1140 | For in fact, it is reasonably asked, What vital interest has England in any cause now deciding itself in foreign parts? |
1140 | For the alternative is not, Stay where we are, or change? |
1140 | For those who will not have pity on themselves, and will force the Universe and the Laws of Nature to have no"pity on"them? |
1140 | Happy regiments of the line, what soldier to any earthly or celestial Power has such a lodging and attendance as you here? |
1140 | Have a false opinion, and tell it with the tongue of Angels, what can that profit? |
1140 | Have the Parcae fallen asleep, because you wanted to make money in the City? |
1140 | Have we no work to do but drilling Devil''s regiments of the line? |
1140 | Have you at all computed how much less? |
1140 | Have you no more respect for misfortune? |
1140 | He can turn round upon you and say,"Why make an''example''of me, a merely ill- situated, pitiable man? |
1140 | He whose very tongue utters falsities, what has his heart long been doing? |
1140 | Here are our ten divinest men; with these, unhappily not divine enough, we must even content ourselves and die in peace; what help is there? |
1140 | How can Parliament get through the Criminal Question? |
1140 | How can the thought of such a man, what he calls thought, be other than false? |
1140 | How do men rise in your Society? |
1140 | How do you employ that? |
1140 | How find it? |
1140 | How is your ship to be steered by a Pilot with no_ eyes_ but a pair of glass ones got from the constitutional optician? |
1140 | How it shall be done? |
1140 | How the judge will do it? |
1140 | How will this be done? |
1140 | I hope it prescribes a healthy hatred of scoundrels;--otherwise what am I, in Heaven''s name, to make of it? |
1140 | If our Government is to be a No- Government, what is the matter who administers it? |
1140 | If this is the fact, why not treat it as such? |
1140 | If your Government is to be a Constituted Anarchy, what issue can it have? |
1140 | In all Societies, Turkey included, and I suppose Dahomey included, men do rise; but the question of questions always is, What kind of men? |
1140 | Is Society become wholly a bag of wind, then, ballasted by guineas? |
1140 | Is not America an instance in point? |
1140 | Is not this Proposal the very essence of whatever truth there is in"Democracy;"this, that the able man be chosen, in whatever rank be is found? |
1140 | Is not this a very wonderful arrangement? |
1140 | Is there no value, then, in human things, but what can write itself down in the cash- ledger? |
1140 | Is this such a sublime distinction, then? |
1140 | It is a Time to make the dullest man consider; and ask himself, Whence_ he_ came? |
1140 | Lastly,--or rather firstly, and as the preliminary of all, would there not be a Minister of Education? |
1140 | Law of veracity? |
1140 | Men of noble gifts, or men of ignoble? |
1140 | Nature for such a man, and for Nations that follow such, has her patibulary forks, and prisons of death everlasting:--dost thou doubt it? |
1140 | Nay, for this latter object, is not a certain height of intelligence even dangerous? |
1140 | Nay, if M''Croudy offered his own life for_ sale_ in Threadneedle Street, would anybody buy it? |
1140 | Nay, if they were in life- and- death earnest, what could it avail you in such a case? |
1140 | Not the whole method; nor the method at all, if taken as the whole? |
1140 | Nothing but"Rate in aid,""Time will mend it,""Necessary business of the Session;"and"After me the Deluge"? |
1140 | One such, perhaps, might be attained; one such might prove discoverable among our Parliamentary populations? |
1140 | Or is such a man, even if born in the due rank for it, the likeliest to present himself, and court their most sweet voices? |
1140 | Or is there none; no one that can and dare? |
1140 | Or perhaps Democracy, which we announce as now come, will itself manage it? |
1140 | Or what say we, Cholera Doctors? |
1140 | Pity, yes: but pity for the scoundrel- species? |
1140 | Reader, did you ever hear of"Constituted Anarchy"? |
1140 | Reward and punishment? |
1140 | Shall we never think of this; shall we never more remember this, then? |
1140 | Shall we say, May_ he_, may the Devil give you good of it, ye Elect of Scoundrelism? |
1140 | Slop- shirts attainable three halfpence cheaper, by the ruin of living bodies and immortal souls? |
1140 | Such drowned ass ought to ask himself, If the function is a sublime one? |
1140 | Surely on this side, if on no other, matters stood not ill with him? |
1140 | Talent for Literature, thou hast such a talent? |
1140 | That he must_ think_ the truth; much more speak it? |
1140 | That is imperative upon her: she too will die, otherwise, and cough her last upon the streets some day;--how can she continue living? |
1140 | The Almighty Maker is wroth that the Sarawak cut- throats, with their poisoned spears, are away? |

1140 | The Real Captain, unless it be some Captain of mechanical Industry hired by Mammon, where is he in these days? |
1140 | The dog that was drowned last summer, and that floats up and down the Thames with ebb and flood ever since,--is it not dead? |
1140 | The model of the world, then, is at once unattainable by the world, and not much worth attaining? |
1140 | The most Herculean Ten Men that could be found among the English Twenty- seven Millions, are these? |
1140 | The question, What to do with you? |
1140 | The result of all which, what was it? |
1140 | The speaker is"excellent;"the notes he does are beautiful? |
1140 | The talent that can say nothing for itself, what is it? |
1140 | The time, I believe, has come for asking with considerable severity, How far is it so? |
1140 | The unhappy creature, does he not know, then, that every lie is accursed, and the parent of mere curses? |
1140 | The work is but idle; if the doing of it will but pass, what need of more? |
1140 | There_ are_ not, in any place, under any figure, ten diviner men among us? |
1140 | These abject, ape, wolf, ox, imp and other diabolic- animal specimens of humanity, who of the very gods could ever have commanded them by love? |
1140 | These guides, then, were mere blind men only pretending to see? |
1140 | These reverend Dignitaries that sat amid their far- shining symbols and long- sounding long- admitted professions, were mere Impostors, then? |
1140 | This and the Honorable Mr. That, as to their respective pretensions to ride the high horse? |
1140 | To be led always by the squeak of your paltry fiddle? |
1140 | To bring these Captainless under due captaincy? |
1140 | To bring these hordes of outcast captainless soldiers under due captaincy? |
1140 | To increase the reverence for Human Intellect or God''s Light, and the detestation of Human Stupidity or the Devil''s Darkness, what method is there? |
1140 | To load the fatal_ chain_ with your perpetual staggerings and sprawlings; and ever again load it, till we all lie sprawling? |
1140 | To puddle in the embouchures and drowned outskirts, and ulterior and ultimate issues and cloacas of the affair: what profit can there be in that? |
1140 | To rectify the relation that exists between two men, is there no method, then, but that of ending it? |
1140 | To the gifted soul that is born in England, what is the career, then, that will carry him, amid noble Olympic dust, up to the immortal gods? |
1140 | Toughness_ plus_ astucity:--perhaps a simple wooden mast set up in Palace- Yard, well soaped and duly presided over, might be the honester method? |
1140 | Universal Suffrage, ballot- boxes, count of heads? |
1140 | What else? |
1140 | What escape is there? |
1140 | What great human soul, what great thought, what great noble thing that one could worship, or loyally admire, has yet been produced there? |
1140 | What had become of this celebrated Nineteenth Century''s intellect? |
1140 | What harm had Sparrowbill done me that I should so help to ruin him? |
1140 | What is Democracy; this huge inevitable Product of the Destinies, which is everywhere the portion of our Europe in these latter days? |
1140 | What is a lie? |
1140 | What right have you to hang any poor creature"for an example"? |
1140 | What sort of reformers and workers are you, that work only on the rotten material? |
1140 | What talent is born to you? |
1140 | What this Law of the Universe, or Law made by God, is? |
1140 | What to do with you? |
1140 | Whence comes it, this universal big black Democracy; whither tends it; what is the meaning of it? |
1140 | Which it is not"impossible"that we should cease to be, I hope? |
1140 | Who are available to your Offices in Downing Street? |
1140 | Who are you, ye thriftless sweepings of Creation, that we should forever be pestered with you? |
1140 | Who would govern that can get along without governing? |
1140 | Who, then, is to be the Reforming Statesman, and begin the noble work for us? |
1140 | Why does not England repudiate Ireland, and insist on the"Repeal,"instead of prohibiting it under death- penalties? |
1140 | Why should not all Nations subsist and flourish on Democracy, as America does? |
1140 | Why should they quarrel? |
1140 | Will Nature change, or sulphuric acid become sweet milk, for the noise of vociferous blockheads? |
1140 | With our utmost soul''s travail we could discover, by the sublimest methods eulogized by all the world, no abler Englishman than this? |
1140 | You prefer Delolme on the British Constitution, the Gospel according to M''Croudy, and a good balance at your banker''s? |
1140 | You refuse? |
1140 | You will have to pay it even in money if you live:--and, poor slave, do you think there is no payment but in money? |
1140 | You would have saved the Sarawak Pirates, then? |
1140 | You, ye diabolic canaille, what has a Governor much to do with you? |
1140 | Your Potential Chief of Workers, will he come there at all, to try whether he can talk? |
1140 | Your born genius, therefore, will first have to ask himself, Whether he can hold his tongue or can not? |
1140 | in all thoroughfares, these eighteen hundred years in vain? |
1140 | said one of our acquaintance, often in those weeks,"Was there ever such a miracle? |
15759 | And so you really think that if Christ came and looked at this house and looked at me in it, He would not mind? |
15759 | And ye, all ye people, are ye suitable or possible people for me to be religious with? |
15759 | Are they the most efficient ones? |
15759 | How can a machine- made world be run in the spirit of a hand- made world? |
15759 | How can you get it? |
15759 | Oh, why----? |
15759 | What am I like inside? 15759 What are you especially for?" |
15759 | What do you make? |
15759 | What do you want? |
15759 | What kind of a world is it, all the facts about me being duly considered, I really want to be in? |
15759 | Where are we going? 15759 Who are you, Woodrow Wilson, in God''s name?" |
15759 | Will the Crowd bring the Man to me? |
15759 | Will the Dome bring the Man to me? |
15759 | Will the Machines bring the Man to me? |
15759 | _ CHAPTER I WHERE ARE WE GOING? 15759 ***** Was Mr. Josiah Wedgewood right when he called Davy McEwen a traitor to his class? 15759 Am I or am I not a man who can conduct his business as a great profession, one of the dignities and energies and joys of a great people? 15759 And I found them all full of the same strange questioning:Where are we going?" |
15759 | And I stood in the middle of the roar of Trafalgar Square and asked, as all England was asking that night:"Where are we going?" |
15759 | And how can a mine- owner reach down to the men in the hole, make himself felt as a human being on the bottom floor of the hole in the ground? |
15759 | And how would it differ from the traditional or conventional temperament, governments are usually allowed to have? |
15759 | And if stopping people does not stop them, what will? |
15759 | And on what theory of their relation to us can machines and men expect in a world like this to run softly together? |
15759 | And once more, Mr. President, in God''s name,_ who are we?_"This is always the gist of what it says,"Who are we?" |
15759 | And once more, Mr. President, in God''s name,_ who are we?_"This is always the gist of what it says,"Who are we?" |
15759 | And second, what would have happened if they had? |
15759 | And what is it their hands and feet, umbrellas, bundles, and the wrinkles in their clothes tell us about them? |
15759 | And who are the men who are not afraid? |
15759 | And why are they willing to keep on having and expecting to have in this world all the good people on crosses? |
15759 | And why not believe this and drop it? |
15759 | And why should an Oxford man be afraid of a cubic inch of iron, or afraid of becoming like it? |
15759 | And why should human beings running for their souls in a race with locomotives expect to keep very long from losing their souls? |
15759 | And, after all, Mr. President-- if you please-- who_ are_ you? |
15759 | Are they not the men of all others, all up and down that little strip of Oxford Street, who devote their entire time to human nature? |
15759 | Are we for the machines, or are the machines for us? |
15759 | Are we or are we not going to put a national penalty on all initiative in all business men because some men abuse it? |
15759 | Are you not ashamed to be a party to-- to-- as small a crowd as this?" |
15759 | Are you what you thought you would be? |
15759 | At last, all men in all parties are engaged in trying to find out: Is it true or not true that we want to be good? |
15759 | But an acre of Nowhere satisfies no one; and how many square miles does a man want to be a nobody in? |
15759 | But how about doing as one would be done by with ninety million people-- all sizes, all climates, all religions, Buffalo, New Orleans, Seattle? |
15759 | But is this what we want? |
15759 | But were they necessarily wrong? |
15759 | But what can we say about human beings in a mine, about the practicability of keeping human twenty- five hundred men in a hole in the ground? |
15759 | But what of it? |
15759 | But what of it? |
15759 | But why is it that when the world makes a man suffer, everybody should seem always to be thinking of the man? |
15759 | But why should we serve them? |
15759 | But would they? |
15759 | CHAPTER II IS IT WRONG FOR GOOD PEOPLE TO BE EFFICIENT? |
15759 | CHAPTER III IS IT WRONG FOR GOOD PEOPLE TO BE INTERESTING? |
15759 | CHAPTER VI THE PEOPLE SAY"WHO ARE YOU?" |
15759 | CHAPTER VII THE PEOPLE SAY"WHO ARE WE?" |
15759 | CHAPTER X WHO IS AFRAID? |
15759 | CHAPTER XIII IS IT WRONG FOR GOOD PEOPLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL? |
15759 | CHAPTER XIV IS IT SECOND RATE FOR GOOD PEOPLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL? |
15759 | Can a mutual- interest employer, can a mutual- interest worker, be produced by the human race? |
15759 | Can all the crowd, and can all the machines, and all the cathedrals piled up together produce the Man, the Crowd- man or great man who sees truth? |
15759 | Can he stop it successfully by turning on his politeness? |
15759 | Can the People see truth? |
15759 | Did you act as if you believed in us? |
15759 | Did you believe in us yesterday? |
15759 | Did you get anybody to believe in us? |
15759 | Did you know there was or could be anywhere a man like THIS? |
15759 | Did you not make a mistake? |
15759 | Do I suppose I understand camels? |
15759 | Do I? |
15759 | Do the People see truth? |
15759 | Do they? |
15759 | Do we want it? |
15759 | Do you go by here grimly day by day, past all these people lined up on the hills, sternly thinking of yourself?" |
15759 | Do you think I am, or do you think that I am not? |
15759 | Do you think it is a good time for us to decide this morning what you are really like? |
15759 | Do you think you are a soul? |
15759 | Do you? |
15759 | Does he need to be? |
15759 | Does he or does he not know which he is, an Inventor, an Artist, or a Hewer? |
15759 | Does he overhear it, I wonder? |
15759 | Does human nature change? |
15759 | Does it change toward a larger and longer vision? |
15759 | Does not one see them-- see them everywhere-- one''s own flesh and blood, going about like stone- crushers, road- rollers, lifts, lawn- mowers? |
15759 | First, why did the Trustees not award the prize to Allen Upward? |
15759 | First: Do the elephants chase the men in it? |
15759 | Had I not seen Mrs. Pethick Lawrence with the flush of Old Bailey on her cheek only a little while before in Albert Hall? |
15759 | Has he not invented himself? |
15759 | Have I not heard the bell tolling to the people in the midst of business and singing great hymns? |
15759 | Have I not seen tired, mechanical men, whole generations of them, vast mobs of them, the men who have let the machines mow down their souls? |
15759 | He began at once,"Do you think Christ would have approved of my house?" |
15759 | He made him wonder softly who he was-- and the people all about him-- who were they? |
15759 | Here in these United States sixty years ago were we not all at work on a man named Abraham Lincoln? |
15759 | How about doing as one would be done by three thousand miles? |
15759 | How are the machines like us? |
15759 | How can President Wilson, in getting the Trusts not to be corrupt, in trying to win them-- how can President Wilson make the law alluring? |
15759 | How can goodness be advertised to Crowds? |
15759 | How can he get himself to work hard enough to make his food and clothes cheap? |
15759 | How can he get their attention? |
15759 | How can he make the People have a Low Voice? |
15759 | How can he touch and wake the solar plexus of labour? |
15759 | How can he touch their imaginations? |
15759 | How can they be good in their business-- more good than their employers want them to be, for instance-- and keep their positions? |
15759 | How can we determine what is the most practical and natural way for crowds of people to try to be beautiful now? |
15759 | How could I answer the Child?_*****_"I want to trust the sky and the grass! |
15759 | How could such a thing be stopped in a department store by a practical employer? |
15759 | How do they do it? |
15759 | How do you think you are turning out yourself, Mr. President? |
15759 | How is our President going to hear our labour and our money sing? |
15759 | How many men do you employ?" |
15759 | How many square miles of the people''s thoughts can he spread out at breakfast tables, lift up in a thousand thousand trolleys before their faces? |
15759 | How many sticks a day can he make compositors set up of what he thinks? |
15759 | How shall an American, coming to you out of his long, flat, literary desert, dare to say it?... |
15759 | How shall this statement be made? |
15759 | I could not think of anything I had ever done to these men, and what had Liverpool and London done to them? |
15759 | I look up a little closer-- look into his little, shrewd eyes-- and, after all, what do I know about him? |
15759 | IS IT SECOND RATE FOR GOOD PEOPLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL? |
15759 | IS IT WRONG FOR GOOD PEOPLE TO BE EFFICIENT? |
15759 | IS IT WRONG FOR GOOD PEOPLE TO BE INTERESTING? |
15759 | IS IT WRONG FOR GOOD PEOPLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL? |
15759 | If everything in a Cabinet position turns on getting people to know things, why not get them to know them? |
15759 | If he dares stand up before them and face them with nothing but thinking, what is he thinking? |
15759 | If news is governing, how does the President do his governing? |
15759 | If society has a soul and if every member of it has a soul, what is the relation of the social soul to the individual soul? |
15759 | If we are fortunate enough to have in America a government with an American temperament what would it be like? |
15759 | If we are going to get to socialism by giving up individualism, by abolishing heroes, why get to it? |
15759 | If we hit it, whom will we hit? |
15759 | In our glorious adolescence so sublime, so ugly, so believing, will no one sing a hymn to the Derricks? |
15759 | In the meantime are not their scared and hateful opinions as good as my scared and hateful opinions? |
15759 | In the meantime, what is there that can honestly be called base in taking human nature as it is and in allowing a sliding scale of motives in people? |
15759 | Is he not at this very moment a better kind of man than he thought he could be once? |
15759 | Is he not going to be a better kind to- morrow than he is now? |
15759 | Is it not about time that somebody appeared very soon now who will make a stand once and for all in behalf of this Dear Old Lady- Like Person? |
15759 | Is it not about time, in our dreary, drab, listless procession of economics, stringing helplessly across the world, that we have a band of music? |
15759 | Is it really true that no one has noticed Her and is really going to stand up for Her-- for the old gentle- hearted Planet as a Whole? |
15759 | Is this man a typical American? |
15759 | Is this sentiment or is it cold businesslike efficiency? |
15759 | It has to be faced now and here, as if it were some great scare- head or billboard on the world,"WHERE ARE WE GOING?" |
15759 | It would come to seem, I should think, when he is alone with his God( and will he not please be alone with his God sometimes? |
15759 | Just how much governing can a President do? |
15759 | Morgan?" |
15759 | On what principles could we make out a schedule or inventory of human nature, and decide on world- values in men? |
15759 | Once when It broke in on Lincoln in this way and said,"_ Who are we?_"he prayed. |
15759 | One could go about in the White House and study the portraits of the presidents, but where is the portrait of the people? |
15759 | One looks into the faces of the people hurrying past:"_ Where are we going?_"One looks at the stars:"WHERE ARE WE GOING?" |
15759 | One looks into the faces of the people hurrying past:"_ Where are we going?_"One looks at the stars:"WHERE ARE WE GOING?" |
15759 | People look at the empty chairs as if every modest, unassuming chair there were some great personality saying to each and all of us:"Why are you here? |
15759 | Perhaps you have been made fun of yourself, Gentle Reader? |
15759 | Possibly you have noticed this trait in the great employers or, at least, in the great managers of employers? |
15759 | Query-- And when an employer in a shoe factory deals with his employee, can it really be said, after all, that he is dealing with_ him_? |
15759 | Rockefeller?" |
15759 | Second: And if-- as in our Western civilization-- the men have made their own elephants, why should they be chased by them? |
15759 | Shall the President act as if these men represent Labor and Capital? |
15759 | Shall this civilization attempt to live by the crowd principle, without men in it who are living by the hero principle? |
15759 | So the Crowd keeps coming back with the question,"Are there or are there not any competent business establishments in our modern life? |
15759 | So we do not say,"Have we a President that can get our Bells, Edisons, McAdoos, Achesons to be good by toeing a line?" |
15759 | THE PEOPLE SAY"WHO ARE WE?" |
15759 | THE PEOPLE SAY"WHO ARE YOU?" |
15759 | Taylor-- a mutual interest employer-- and to how he runs his business-- as to Horatio Bottomley? |
15759 | The Secretary or the Secretary''s news engineer? |
15759 | The bell would boom out,"What are you doing? |
15759 | The legacy of all the ages, is it not descended upon us?--the spirit of a thousand nations? |
15759 | The question that is now up before this country is, Do we or do we not want American business sterilized? |
15759 | The real and serious question is, does stopping people stop them? |
15759 | The ultimate question in a crowd civilization becomes, not"What does a thing mean?" |
15759 | There are two assumptions underneath everybody''s thought, underneath every action of our government: Which is the American assumption? |
15759 | There is no denying that, in a way, a committee does things; but what becomes of the committee? |
15759 | They answer the question"Does human nature change?" |
15759 | They have been deceived until lately, but are they being deceived now? |
15759 | Upward? |
15759 | WHERE ARE WE GOING? |
15759 | WHO IS AFRAID? |
15759 | Was I not desperate too? |
15759 | Was it really true that they had any more reason to trust their employers than their employers had to trust them? |
15759 | We found that the entire underside of the floor of the car was on fire, and what had happened? |
15759 | We have our Tom Mann for the workers, and we have the Daily Newspaper-- the Tom Mann of Capital, but where is our Tom Mann for Everybody? |
15759 | We may pile together all our funny, fearful, little Dreadnoughts, our stodgy dead lumps of men called armies, and what are they? |
15759 | We must be righteous, but on the whole, must we not be righteous toward others as we would have them righteous toward us? |
15759 | We say,"Have we a President who can swing into step, who can join in the singing, who can catch up?" |
15759 | We will make the birds sing to him in the morning,"_ Where are you going_?" |
15759 | We will put up a sign at the foot of his bed for his eyes to fall on when he awakes,"_ Where are you going_?" |
15759 | Were they really Cogs and Wheels? |
15759 | What are our machines after all? |
15759 | What are the American people really like? |
15759 | What are these things? |
15759 | What are they like this morning? |
15759 | What are they thinking about? |
15759 | What are we for? |
15759 | What are we like? |
15759 | What are you believing this morning? |
15759 | What do the crowds, poor and rich, really believe about life? |
15759 | What do the people want? |
15759 | What do they think they want? |
15759 | What do we want instead? |
15759 | What do you really like? |
15759 | What do you really want? |
15759 | What does he make out that we are like? |
15759 | What if I were to see the world like the Child? |
15759 | What is Business for? |
15759 | What is a Government for? |
15759 | What is inside? |
15759 | What is it from hour to hour and day to day that we will do and we will not do? |
15759 | What is it in the man that fills him with this fierce desire, this almost business- fanaticism for making goodness pay? |
15759 | What is it that the men are trying to say in this awful, flaming, blackening metaphor of wishing Lord Devonport dead? |
15759 | What is it that the thirty- one- story block is trying to say about us? |
15759 | What is our American temperament? |
15759 | What is the gist of the prayer to God, and to us? |
15759 | What is the real news about us, for instance, as regards being goody- good? |
15759 | What is the thing, the real thing in the Hand- made World, that fills me with pride and joy, and that I can not and will not give up? |
15759 | What is there that is being said in them that should make any one feel like singing? |
15759 | What sort of man am I? |
15759 | What was there that could be done to touch the imagination of the crowd? |
15759 | What was there that could be done with an obstinate, pervasive, unceasing habit of the people like this? |
15759 | What will our new President do with these hundreds of miles of prayer, of crying to God, stretched up to him out of the hills and out of the plains? |
15759 | What will the American workman do to express his American temperament through his labour union to his employer? |
15759 | What will the children do with the three religions? |
15759 | What will the three religions do with the children? |
15759 | What will you do with ME?" |
15759 | What would I do with a five- million- dollar fund for touching the imagination of labour and touching the imagination of capital? |
15759 | What would be the most noble, the most universal, the most Godlike and democratic schedule for souls to be saved on-- on a world? |
15759 | What would he do? |
15759 | What would we do ourselves if we were Nobel Prize Trustees? |
15759 | What would we try to do if we took the time to think? |
15759 | Where are the dear little Poets? |
15759 | Where are they hiding? |
15759 | Where are they? |
15759 | Where is Nazareth? |
15759 | Where is the news about what we really want? |
15759 | Which are right? |
15759 | Which are they, and where are they?" |
15759 | Which are you really like?" |
15759 | Which class of statesmen do we want? |
15759 | Which do you prefer? |
15759 | Which man is right? |
15759 | Which truth matters? |
15759 | Which way shall we turn? |
15759 | Who are the men to- day, in all walks of life, who want the most things for the most people, and who have made up their minds to get them? |
15759 | Who are the men you say are like us? |
15759 | Who are the people that can touch the imagination of Crowds? |
15759 | Who are these men? |
15759 | Who are these men? |
15759 | Who are these men? |
15759 | Who are we? |
15759 | Who built it?" |
15759 | Who bullied the cook and got everybody ready? |
15759 | Who did it, please? |
15759 | Who is responsible for it? |
15759 | Who shall paint the portrait of a people? |
15759 | Who that they could hope to deal with and get what they want from, could know more about human nature than they do? |
15759 | Who wants it? |
15759 | Whose Stomach is it? |
15759 | Why are people so complacent about crosses? |
15759 | Why are you not reading this book?" |
15759 | Why bother about them? |
15759 | Why bother to tell people to be good? |
15759 | Why count them up? |
15759 | Why do they not? |
15759 | Why does not anybody think of the world? |
15759 | Why have a world at all-- one like this? |
15759 | Why is it that people-- so many good people will speak of oil at eleven cents in this way, as if it were a kind of little kingdom of heaven? |
15759 | Why is no one singing 1913, our own American 1913? |
15759 | Why not allow an order in moving trains of thought? |
15759 | Why not change the face of the earth now? |
15759 | Why not drop Jefferson and Hamilton and live ours? |
15759 | Why not drop Karl Marx and Emerson and run the gamut of both of them, on a continent 3,000 miles wide? |
15759 | Why not take that job instead? |
15759 | Why not take the job of throwing one''s self out of a job? |
15759 | Why not treat people''s souls seriously? |
15759 | Why should a maple- bud mislead me? |
15759 | Why should any one ever have supposed that it takes a backing down, giving up, teary, weak, and grieved person to do this? |
15759 | Why should it be so? |
15759 | Why should nightingales, poppies, and dells expect, in a main trial of strength, to compete with machines? |
15759 | Why should not I do as well? |
15759 | Why should not a human race have motives which it was not capable of at first? |
15759 | Why should not everybody who employs labour know what Lord Grey knows? |
15759 | Why should we guess? |
15759 | Why should we live Thomas Jefferson''s and Alexander Hamilton''s lives? |
15759 | Will not a larger and longer vision mean new kinds and new sizes of men? |
15759 | Will not new sizes of men make new- sized ethics practical and make a new world? |
15759 | Will you let me do it? |
15759 | Will you watch me while I do it?" |
15759 | Would not the very thought that fifty thousand men could pray a prayer like that make any man desperate? |
