Excerpt from The World's Progress: With Illustrative Texts From Master-Pieces of Egyptian, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Modern European and American Literature
Life is based upon necessity, the necessity of making a liv ing; but that necessity breeds a need, the need of living; the making of a living being indeed not the end of life, but the necessary means to the true end which is heightening to its fullest expression our capacity of living. Up to a certain point the word must ls inevitably supreme, but beyond that point I will is possible. It is so even in business. A man must lay the foundations of the latter in the needs of his trade and build in response to its conditions; but having thus satisfied the meces sities of the case, he can exercise volition as to whether the business shall be run solely for his own sordid self-interest, or in a way that will better the circumstances of his employees and raise the standard of living in his community.
