“Can no way be found by which every man may be assured of what, let us remember, Tolstoy always had”
Robert Hunter (author) (1874–1942) American sociologist, author, golf course architect
Source: Why We Fail as Christians (1919), p. 80
Context: Can no way be found by which every man may be assured of what, let us remember, Tolstoy always had, a wife and children, a good bed, a safe and warm sheltering roof, proper clothes, some leisure and peace for the improvement of the mind, a few books and pictures, a little music, and best of all, no fear for his old age and no dread of want for himself or his loved ones?... Such a way was found in the communism of the early Christians.
