The next great work of the best employers is to get labour to want enough. Labour is tired and mechanical-minded. The next work of the better class of labourer, or the stronger kind of Trades Union, is to get capital to want enough. Capital is tired, too. It does not see really big, worth-while things that can be done with capital, and has no courage for these things.
The larger the range and the larger the variety of social desire the greater the courage.
The problem in modern industry is the arousing of the imaginations of capitalists and labourers so that they see something that gives them courage for themselves and for one another, and courage for the world.
The world belongs to the men of vision—the men who are not afraid—the men who see things that they have made up their minds to get.
Who are the men to-day, in all walks of life, who want the most things for the most people, and who have made up their minds to get them?
There is just one man we will follow to-day—those of us who belong to the crowd—the man who is alive all over, who is deeply and gloriously covetous, the man who sees things he wants for himself, and who therefore has courage for himself, and who sees things he wants and is bound to get for other people, and who therefore has courage for other people.
This is the hardest kind of courage to have—courage for other people.
