Science repudiates philosophy. In other words, it has never cared to justify its truth or explain its meaning.

The progress of Science consists in observing interconnections and in showing with a patient ingenuity that the events of this ever-shifting world are but examples of a few general relations, called laws. To see what is general in what is particular, and what is permanent in what is transitory, is the aim of scientific thought.

The great achievements of the past were the adventures of the past. Only the adventurous can understand the greatness of the past.

Civilizations can only be understood by those who are civilized.

A race preserves its vigor so long as it harbors a real contrast between what has been and what may be; and so long as it is nerved by the vigor to adventure beyond the safeties of the past. Without adventure civilization is in full decay.

Philosophy is the self-correction by consciousness of its own initial excess of subjectivity.

A Unitarian is a person who believes in at most one God.
