Quote by Christopher Dawson
You can give men food and leisure and amusements and good conditio

You can give men food and leisure and amusements and good conditions of work, and still they will remain unsatisfied. You can deny them all these things, and they will not complain so long as they feel that they have something to die for. – Christopher Dawson
