What hope is there for racial progress in this human material, treated more carelessly and brutally than the cheapest factory product? Nor are all our social handicaps bound up in the immigrant.
We shall be helpful in our effort to give him the proper sympathy if we remember the handicaps under which he has labored. He was satisfied with his old fossilized religion, which had taught him to believe that despotism is a virtue. He did not, therefore, come to America for liberty. The early settlers were the veriest adventurers of whom the gold lust made paragons of cruelty and crime.
When we see cripples, the deaf and dumb, the blind and those with other handicaps amounting to something in the world, the able-bodied man should feel ashamed of himself if he does not make good. There is nothing that can resist the force of perseverance.
His mind was failing, and the beautiful Apollo dining room and terraced gardens would probably never be opened again. In view of the impending handicaps Clodia was especially anxious that a dinner she was to give immediately on her return from Baiae in mid-October should be a conspicuous success.

Why, there was a poet used to write things as if he were me, all about that, and I couldn't stop him.
But the permanent consideration upon which this friendship is based is sincerity and frankness. No man ever worked under greater handicaps than did Woodrow Wilson at Paris.
In autumn, when his farm labors were finished for the year, he journeyed extensively about the colonies, gathering specimens with which to beautify his grounds. His greatest enjoyment in life was to make his collection of rare species ever more complete, and his remarkable accomplishments in this direction, despite many handicaps, entitle him to be known as the father of American botanists.
