Every civilized country has, or could have, plenty for all, and sharing existing wealth fairly would make everyone comparatively comfortable
Drawn from what William Morris said
What William Morris actually said
- William Morris English designer, writer and socialist (1834 to 1896)
For what I want you to understand is this: that in every civilized country at least there is plenty for all—is, or at any rate might be. Even with labour so misdirected as it is at present, an equitable distribution of the wealth we have would make all people comparatively comfortable; but that is nothing to the wealth we might have if labour were not misdirected.
