Means must be subsidiary to ends and to our desire for dignity and value.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The ends must justify the means.
Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.
What is called for is dignity. We need to set an example.
Something is wanting, and something must be done, or we shall be involved in all the horror of failure, and civil war without a prospect of its termination.
If the ends don't justify the means, what does?
To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves - there lies the great, singular power of self-respect.
The dignity we seek in dying must be found in the dignity with which we have lived our lives.
So we have a commitment to the business and to its people.
Give us equality of enjoyment, equal right to expansion - it is as necessary to our prosperity as yours.
When boasting ends, there dignity begins.
