Summary

This quote suggests that while individuals have their own abilities and strengths, they must take into consideration the well-being of society as a whole.

It implies that individuals cannot solely rely on their own capabilities, but also need to rely on the resources and support provided by society. In this perspective, social power, or the collective strength and resources of a community, is essential for individuals to flourish and succeed.

Neither prosperity nor empire nor heaven can be worth winning at the price of a virulent temper, bloody hands, an anguished spirit, and a vain hatred of the rest of the world.
