Never Put A Man In The Wrong.

History Is Mostly Guessing; The Rest Is Prejudice.

Civilization Is Social Order Promoting Cultural Creation. Four Elements Constitute It: Economic Provision, Political Organization, Moral Tradition, And The Pursuit Of Knowledge And The Arts. It Begins Where Chaos And Insecurity End. For When Fear Is Overcome, Curiosity And Constructiveness Are Free, And Man Passes By Natural Impulse Towards The Understanding And Embellishment Of Life.

As To Harmonizing The Theory Of Evolution With The Biblical Account Of Creation, I Do Not Believe It Can Be Done, And I Do Not See Why It Should Be. The Story Of Genesis Is Beautiful, And Profoundly Significant As Symbolism: There Is No Good Reason To Torture It Into Conformity With Modern Theory.

As Long As There Is Poverty There Will Be Gods.

Civilization Exists By Geological Consent, Subject To Change Without Notice.
