Strana 291 - These are traits and measures and modes; and the true test ' of civilization is, not the census, nor the size of cities, nor the crops, — no, but the kind of man the country turns out.
Strana 221 - HE who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, And he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere.
Strana 306 - THERE is one mind common to all individual men. Every man is an inlet to the same and to all of the same.

Each animal out of its habitat would starve. To the physician, each man, each woman, is an amplification of one organ. A soldier, a locksmith, a bank-clerk and a dancer could not exchange functions. And thus we are victims of adaptation. The antidotes against this organic egotism are the range and variety of attractions, as gained by acquaintance with...
