“…everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself.”
— Leo Tolstoy
“Three Methods of Reform,” from his private diary, in Some Social Remedies, 1900. English translation uncredited. We check every line against a primary source.

The sentence before it is the hopeful one: “Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself.”

HUMANITY is the biggest word on the shirt, and “himself.” is the only one in warm matte gold. Everybody looks at the first. The second is where the work is.

Wear it. Start with the person wearing it.
