And men think too much of things.

For a lang time now things have been riding over men, and mankind has ceased riding over things.

But now we plain folk are going again to make things subservient to life, to human life, to the needs and interests of the plain man.

That is what I want to talk of always, of late--the need of plain living, plain speaking, plain, useful thinking.
For me the great discovery of the war was that humanity was the greatest thing in the world.

I had to learn that no man could live for and by himself alone.
