QUOTES

…the first essential component of social justice is adequate food for all mankind. Food is the moral right of all who are born into this world.

Without food, man can live at most but a few weeks; without it, all other components of social justice are meaningless.

If you desire peace, cultivate justice, but at the same time cultivate the fields to produce more bread; otherwise there will be no peace.
