Art is long and life is short; let us at least do something before we die. We
seek perfection, but can find no perfect means to bring it about; let it be
enough for us if we can unite with those whose aims are right, and their means
honest and feasible. I tell you if we wait for perfection in association in
these days of combat we shall die before we can do anything. Help us now, you
whom the fortune of your birth has helped to make wise and refined; and as you
help us in our work-a-day business toward the success of the cause, instill
into us your superior wisdom, your superior refinement, and you in your turn
may be helped by the courage and hope of those who are not so completely wise
and refined. Remember we have but one weapon against that terrible
organization of selfishness which we attack, and that weapon is Union. Yes,
and it should be obvious union, which we can be conscious of as we mix with
others who are hostile or indifferent to the cause; organized brotherhood is
that which must break the spell of anarchical Plutocracy. One man with an idea
in his head is in danger of being considered a madman; two men with the same
idea in common may be foolish, but can hardly be mad; ten men sharing an idea
begin to act, a hundred draw attention as fanatics, a thousand and society
begins to tremble, a hundred thousand and there is war abroad, and the cause
has victories tangible and real; and why only a hundred thousand? You and I
who agree together, it is we who have to answer that question.
