From the second principle of Darwin we see that instead of denouncing or destroying the competitive system, we ought to regard it as a most useful means of indicating biological fitness or unfitness.

The person who fails to be self-supporting in a community (ie, whose services have not been regarded by society as adequate...
Side 314 - The common problem, yours, mine, every one's, Is - not to fancy what were fair in life Provided it could be, - but, finding first What may be, then find how to make it fair Up to our means : a very different thing...
Side 152 - Were half the power that fills the world with terror, Were half the wealth bestowed on camps and courts, Given to redeem the human mind from error, There were no need of arsenals or forts: The warrior's name would be a name abhorred!
Side 8 - ... 8. Whatever indulgence may be granted to those who have heretofore been the ignorant causes of so much misery, the time has come when the existence of a private pestilence in the sphere of a single physician should be looked upon, not as a misfortune, but a crime : and in the knowledge of such occurrences...
Side 413 - Give us, O give us, the man who sings at his work ! Be his occupation what it may, he is equal to any of those who follow the same pursuit in silent sullenness. He will do more in the same time, he will do it better, he will persevere longer.
Side 282 - ... speakers— as earlier— but do not dare to say so. And now the whole nation— pulpit and all— will take up the war-cry, and shout itself hoarse, and mob any honest man who ventures to open his mouth; and presently such mouths will cease to open.

Side 413 - I live in a constant endeavour to fence against the infirmities of ill health, and other evils of life, by mirth ; being firmly persuaded that every time a man smiles, but much more so, when he laughs, it adds something to this Fragment of Life.
Side 432 - The true student is a citizen of the world, the allegiance of whose soul, at any rate, is too precious to be restricted to a single country. The great minds, the great works transcend all limitations of time, of language, and of race, and the scholar can never feel initiated into the company of the elect until he can approach all of life's problems from the cosmopolitan standpoint.
Side 80 - Science, the only possible savior of mankind, must put it in the power of woman to decide for herself whether she will or will not become a mother. This is the solution of the whole question. This frees woman. The babes that are then born will be welcome. They will be clasped with glad hands to happy breasts. They will fill homes with light and...
Side 173 - For that I am some twelve or fourteen moonshines Lag of a brother? Why bastard? Wherefore base? When my dimensions are as well compact, My mind as generous, and my shape as true, As honest madam's issue? Why brand they us With base? with baseness? bastardy? base, base?
