Take your place at once among healthy men; recognise the responsibilities of life.
"The Expositor's Bible: The Gospel of St. John, Vol. I"
Marcus Dods
There is no socialism in declaring that the rich, by reason of their riches, have responsibilities towards the poor; or that the poor, by reason of their poverty, have claims upon the rich.
"Contemporary Socialism"
John Rae
Nor is there any socialism in holding that the State has responsibilities towards the poor, and that the law ought, when necessary, to assert the reasonable claims of poverty, or enforce the reasonable duties and obligations of wealth.
