If you have their true welfare at heart, you will not only care for their being fed and clothed, but you will be anxious not to encourage unreasonable expectations in them--not to make them ungrateful or greedy-minded.
Above all, you will be solicitous to preserve some self-reliance in them.

You will be careful not to let them think that their condition can be wholly changed without exertion of their own.

You would not desire to have it so changed.

Once elevate your ideal of what you wish to happen amongst the labouring population, and you will not easily admit anything in your writings that may injure their moral or their mental character, even if you thought it might hasten some physical benefit for them.

That is the way to make your genius most serviceable to mankind.
