Whatever fosters militarism makes for barbarism; whatever fosters peace makes for civilization.
Herbert SpencerThe question of questions for the politicians should ever be-What type of social structure am I tending to produce? But this is a question he never entertains.
Herbert SpencerThe law is the survival of the fittest.... The law is not the survival of the 'better' or the 'stronger,' if we give to those words any thing like their ordinary meanings. It is the survival of those which are constitutionally fittest to thrive under the conditions in which they are placed; and very often that which, humanly speaking, is inferiority, causes the survival.
