Gift of Life
A man who dares to waste one hour of life has not discovered the value of life.

Nature
In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.

Friendship
A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

Choice
As for a future life, every man must judge for himself between conflicting vague probabilities.

Speculation
Without speculation there is no good and original observation.

Survival
In the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment.

Nature
What a book a devil's chaplain might write on the clumsy, wasteful, blundering, low, and horribly cruel work of nature!

Evolution
Believing as I do that man in the distant future will be a far more perfect creature than he now is, it is an intolerable thought that he and all other sentient beings are doomed to complete annihilation after such long-continued slow progress.

Children
How paramount the future is to the present when one is surrounded by children.

Poverty
If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin.

Instinct
The very essence of instinct is that it's followed independently of reason.

God
I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars.

Man and Nature
I fully subscribe to the judgment of those writers who maintain that of all the differences between man and the lower animal, the moral sense of conscience is by far the most important. It is the most noble of all the attributes of man.
