What is our responsibility to humanity?

The Work of the Masters

We must remember that every master has at his command only a certain amount of force, which enormous as it seems to us is still a limited quantity and it is his duty to employ this force to the best possible advantage for the helping of humanity. Therefore it would if we may say so without irreverence be absolutely wrong for him to waste that force upon anything lower than the very highest that it can reach—or to spend upon individual cases however deserving that which can be so much better employed for the welfare of all.
