Excerpt from Universal Prosperity How to Attain It as a People
It should be remembered that there are, as it were, two characters to each person - the superficial or temporary, and the fundamental. The superficial is the one nearly always in evidence, the fundamental the one mostly held in abeyance.
With eye to the superficial, there pass before us the Rich, the Poor ; the Wise, the Ignorant; the Republican, the Democrat, the Populist, the Socialist, the Nationalist, the Single-taxer, the Prohibitionist; the Landlord, the Capitalist, the Stock-broker, the Merchant, the Manufacturer, the Working-man, the Tramp, the Criminal, the Pauper, etc.
With eye to the fundamental, we see "Men and Women" - children of one God, souls of one common origin.
We wear our superficial character with all the dis-grace it is possible, fighting and raging as if we were so many antagonistic elements, jostling and trampling upon one another in one continual warfare of names, fictions, shadows, and misunderstandings, which issue from merely the "masks" we wear.
