“As long as women suffer as they do I will fight! As long as little children hungering go, as they now do, I will fight.”
An unspecified platform appeal, as quoted in The Musical Salvationist (September 1927).

(version in original Dutch / origineel citaat van Herman Kruyder:) ..[Ik] ga nu werken aan het schilderij 'De loopsche teef' heb daar al lang voorstudies van. Het kan eigenlijk beter 'Het gevecht daarom' heten, daar in de compositie in de achtergrond drie grote honden een grimmig gevecht leveren.

“The Great Helpers of humanity do not abandon the Earth so long as sufferings go unhealed.”
Nicholas Roerich (1874–1947) Russian painter, writer, archaeologist, theosophist, enlightener, philosopher
§ 272
New Era Community (1926)
Context: The Great Helpers of humanity do not abandon the Earth so long as sufferings go unhealed. Wholehearted fellowship can easily heal the wounds of a friend — but it is necessary to develop the art of thinking in the name of Good. And this is not easy amid the day's hustle and bustle. But the examples of the Great Helpers of humanity can encourage and infuse new forces.
