John Dewey: “The world has suffered more from leaders and authorities than from the masses.”

But this conclusion is an obvious invitation to trial of forces to see where superior force lies.

There is therefore no necessary connection between the private character of an act and its non-social or anti-social character.

The local communities without intent or forecast found their affairs conditioned by remote and invisible organizations.

In short, private acts may be socially valuable both by indirect consequences and by direct intention.
