Every One Who Marries Goes It Blind,

By Nature, Man Is Lazy, Working Only Under Compulsion; And When He Is Strong We Will Always Live, As Far As He Can, Upon The Labor Or The Property Of The Weak.

It Is Impossible To Underrate Human Intelligence - Beginning With One's Own.

My Own Conclusion Is That History Is Simply Social Development Along The Lines Of Weakest Resistance, And That In Most Cases The Line Of Weakest Resistance Is Found As Unconsciously By Society As By Water.

The Great Word Evolution Had Not Yet, In 1860, Made A New Religion Of History, But The Old Religion Had Preached The Same Doctrinefor A Thousand Years Without Finding In The Entire History Of Rome Anything But Flat Contradiction.

In Practice, Such Trifles As Contradictions In Principle Are Easily Set Aside; The Faculty Of Ignoring Them Makes The Practical Man.
