Sacredness of human life! The world has never believed it! It has been with life that we settled our quarrels, won wives, gold and land, defended ideas, imposed religions. We have held that a death toll was a necessary part of every human achievement, whether sport, war, or industry. A moment’s rage over the horror of it, and we have sunk into indifference.
(Quoted from page 142 of New Ideals in Business, by Ida M. Tarbell. The Macmillan Company, 1917.)
