Universalism as an ideal is as old as nay, is probably much more ancient than the Christian ideal.

Christianity has not conquered nationalism; the opposite has been the case nationalism has made Christianity its footstool.

I am a rank individualist.

My personal conviction is that science is concerned wholly with truth, not with ethics.

Under no stretch of imagination can war be regarded as an ethical process; yet war, force, terror, and propaganda were the evolutionary means employed to weld the German people into a tribal whole.

Civilization, we shall find, like Universalism and Christianity, is anti evolutionary in its effects; it works against the laws and conditions which regulated the earlier stages of man's ascent.

Civilization never stands still; if in one country it is falling back, in another it is changing, evolving, becoming more complicated, bringing fresh experience to body and mind, breeding new desires, and exploiting Nature's cupboard for their satisfaction.
