"It is less necessary to be anxious about the weak than the strong in our world. The strong take care of the weak in one hundred way, they are fed, they are clothed and provided with either no effort on their part or at most only so much as they are able to make. But who takes care of the strong? No one. It is considered that they must be able to care themselves and they manage it in one way or another because they must, because they know they only have themselves upon whom to depend. If they were given a tenth of the aid, sympathy, compassion, which are given as a matter of course to the weak, the helpless, the ineffectual, they might be more gentle, more compassionate too, and the world be better for it. For my part, I pity the strong."
