In a state of nature, the weakest go to the wall; in a state of over-refinement, both the weak and the strong go to the gutter.
Elbert HubbardOne great, strong, unselfish soul in every community would actually redeem the world.
Elbert HubbardIn the Life of Darwin by his son, there is related an incident of how the great naturalist once studied long as to just what a certain spore was. Finally he said, "It is this, for if it isn't, then what is it?" And all during his life he was never able to forget that he had been guilty of this unscientific attitude, for science is founded on certitude, not assumption.
