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.

I prize the conditions under which I have lived because they have permitted me to choose my opportunities, to inquire into such matters as interested me, and to publish what I believed to be true, uncontrolled by any central authority.

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

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