Only In Time Of Fear Is Government

The Settlement ... Is An Experimental Effort To Aid In The Solution Of The Social And Industrial Problems Which Are Engendered By The Modern Conditions Of Life In A Great City. It Insists That These Problems Are Not Confined To Any One Portion Of The City. It Is An Attempt To Relieve, At The Same Time, The Overaccumulation At One End Of Society And The Destitution At The Other.

If In A Democratic Country Nothing Can Be Permanently Achieved Save Through The Masses Of The People, It Will Be Impossible To Establish A Higher Political Life Than The People Themselves Crave.

Action Indeed Is The Sole Medium Of Expression For Ethics.

A Settlement Is Above All A Place For Enthusiasms, A Spot To Which Those Who Have A Passion For The Equalization Of Human Joys And Opportunities Are Early Attracted.

It Is Possible That An Individual May Be Successful, Largely Because He Conserves All His Powers For Individual Achievement And Does Not Put Any Of His Energy Into The Training Which Will Give Him The Ability To Act With Others. The Individual Acts Promptly, And We Are Dazzled By His Success While Only Dimly Conscious Of The Inadequacy Of His Code.
