Summary

This quote suggests that the true measure of a nation's character lies not in how it treats its affluent and privileged citizens, but in how it treats its most disadvantaged and vulnerable members. It implies that a nation's empathy, compassion, and commitment to social justice are best reflected in its treatment of those who are at the margins of society. By prioritizing the needs and well-being of the lowest ones, the quote implies that a nation can demonstrate its commitment to fairness and equality for all its citizens.
