More From Abraham Lincoln

Labor, being itself a commodity, is measured as such by the labor time needed to produce the labor-commodity. and what is needed to produce this labor-commodity? just enough labor time to produce the objects indispensable to the constant maintenance of labor, that is, to keep the worker alive and in a condition to propagate his race. the natural price of labor is no other than the wage minimum.

Labor, like israel, has many sorrows. its women weep for their fallen and they lament for the future of the children of the race. it ill behooves one who has supped at labor's table and who has been sheltered in labor's house to curse with equal fervor and fine impartiality both labor and its adversaries when they become locked in deadly embrace.

We have a common enemy. we have this in common: we have a common oppressor, a common exploiter, and a common discriminator. but once we all realize that we have this common enemy, then we unite on the basis of what we have in common. and what we have foremost in common is that enemy - the white man. he's an enemy to all of us. i know some of you all think that some of them aren't enemies. time will tell.

Modern man is weighed down more by the burden of responsibility than by the burden of sin. we think him more a savior who shoulders our responsibilities than him who shoulders our sins. if instead of making decisions we have but to obey and do our duty, we feel it as a sort of salvation.

All that serves labor serves the nation. all ^ that harms labor is treason to america. no line can be drawn between these two. if any man tells you he loves america, yet hates labor, he is a liar. if any man tells you he trusts america, yet fears labor, he is a fool. there is no america without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other.

We don't need to shift our responsibilities onto the shoulders of some deified spiritual superman, or sit around and wait for fate to come knocking at the door. we simply need to believe in the power that's within us, and use it. when we do that, and stop imitating others and competing against them, things begin to work for us.

I talk to groups studying the most advanced spiritual teachings and sometimes these people wonder why nothing is happening in their lives. their motive is the attainment of inner peace for themselves - which of course is a selfish motive. you will not find it with this motive. the motive, if you are to find inner peace, must be an outgoing motive. service, of course, service. giving, not getting. your motive must be good if your work is to have good effect. the secret of life is being of service.
