52 psl. - In what sense Socialism is not religious will be now clear. It utterly despises the " other world " with all its stage properties — that is, the present objects of religion. In what sense it is not irreligious will be also, I think, tolerably clear. It brings back religion from heaven to earth, which, as we have sought to show, was its original sphere. It looks beyond the present moment or the present individual life though not, indeed, to another world, but to another and a higher social life...
67 psl. - Hitherto it is questionable if all the mechanical inventions yet made have lightened the day's toil of any human being. They have enabled a greater population to live the same life of drudgery and imprisonment, and an increased number of manufacturers and others to make fortunes.

He sees in the reconstruction of society in the interest of all, in the rehabilitation, in a higher form and without its limitations, of the old communal life — the proximate end of all present endeavour.
69 psl. - Apart from natural exhaustion through age, etc., I must be able on the morrow to work with the same normal amount of force, health, and freshness as today. You preach to me constantly the gospel of "saving
126 psl. - For the Socialist the word frontier does not exist ; for him love of country, as such, is no nobler sentiment than love of class. The blustering " patriot," big with England's glory, is precisely on a level with the bloated plutocrat, proud to belong to that great " middle class," which he assures you is
81 psl. - Socialism has been well described as a new conception of the world presenting itself in industry as co-operative Communism, in politics as international Republicanism, in religion as atheistic Humanism, by which is meant the recognition of social progress as our being's highest end and aim.
