The Human Soul Is Very Much Older

All Living Beings Have Received Their Weapons Through The Same Process Of Evolution That Moulded Their Impulses And Inhibitions; For The Structural Plan Of The Body And The System Of Behaviour Of A Species Are Parts Of The Same Whole.... Wordsworth Is Right: There Is Only One Being In Possession Of Weapons Which Do Not Grow On His Body And Of Whose Working Plan, Therefore, The Instincts Of His Species Know Nothing And In The Usage Of Which He Has No Correspondingly Adequate Inhibition.

A Man Sufficiently Gifted With Humor Is In Small Danger Of Succumbing To Flattering Delusions About Himself, Because He Cannot Help Perceiving What A Pompous Ass He Would Become If He Did.

...he Who Has Seen The Intimate Beauty Of Nature Cannot Tear Himself Away From It Again. He Must Become Either A Poet Or A Naturalist And, If His Eyes Are Keen And His Powers Of Observation Sharp Enough, He May Well Become Both.

We Do Not Take Humor Seriously Enough.

Hatred Of Humanity And Love Of Animals Make A Very Bad Combination.
