A Nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest c

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.

One farmer says to me, You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with; and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.

He went to political and other speeches and gatherings; he would hear all sides and opinions, talk them over and discuss them, agreeing or disagreeing.

He preached, made speeches, read for us, explained to us, etc.(remarks attributed to Abraham Lincoln's cousin, Dennis Hanks)
