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.

Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it only because the only alternative is special creation, and that is unthinkable.

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

Good men, whether they be Christians or rationalists, do not desire to discriminate between races, but the distinctions implanted by Nature are too conspicuous to escape the observation of our senses.

There are very few men and women in whom a Universalist feeling is altogether lacking; its prevalence suggests that it must be part of our inborn nature and have a place in Nature's scheme of evolution.

A drunkard is one thing, and a temperate man is quite another.

I am a rank individualist.
