Excerpt from False Hopes: Or Fallacies, Socialistic and Semi-Socialistic, Briefly Answered "If tomorrow we die, and death is the end, to-day let us eat and drink; and if we have not the wherewithal, let us see if we cannot take from those who have." So multitudes are saying in their hearts, and philosophy has not yet furnished a clear reply. Popular education has gone far enough to make the masses think - not far enough to make them think deeply; they read what falls in with their aspirations, and their minds run in the groove thus formed; flattering theories make the rapidly, and, like religious doctrines, are imbibed without examination by credulous and uncritical minds.
