When Man Discovered The Mirror, He Began

The Wise Man, Knowing How To Enjoy Achieved Results Without Having Constantly To Replace Them With Others, Finds In Them An Attachment To Life In The Hour Of Difficulty.

Man Cannot Become Attached To Higher Aims And Submit To A Rule If He Sees Nothing Above Him To Which He Belongs. To Free Him From All Social Pressure Is To Abandon Him To Himself And Demoralize Him.

What History Teaches Us Is That Man Does Not Change Arbitrarily; He Does Not Transform Himself At Will On Hearing The Voices Of Inspired Prophets. The Reason Is That All Change, In Colliding With The Inherited Institutions Of The Past, Is Inevitably Hard And Laborious; Consequently It Only Takes Place In Response To The Demands Of Necessity. For Change To Be Brought About It Is Not Enough That It Should Be Seen As Desirable; It Must Be The Product Of Changes Within The Whole Network Of Diverse Casual Relationships Which Then Determine The Situation Of Man.

Social Life Comes From A Double Source, The Likeness Of Consciences And The Division Of Social Labour.

Even One Well-made Observation Will Be Enough In Many Cases, Just As One Well-constructed Experiment Often Suffices For The Establishment Of A Law.
