The True Law Of The Race Is

To Feel Oppressed By Obligation Is Only To Prove That We Are Incapable Of A Proper Sentiment Of Gratitude. To Receive Favors From The Unworthy Is Simply To Admit That Our Selfishness Is Superior To Our Pride. Most Men Remember Obligations, But Not Often To Be Grateful For Them. The Proud Are Made Sour By The Remembrance And The Vain Silent.

The True Law Of The Race Is Progress And Development. Whenever Civilization Pauses In The March Of Conquest, It Is Overthrown By The Barbarian.

There Is A Native Baseness In The Ambition Which Seeks Beyond Its Desert, That Never Shows More Conspicuously Than When, No Matter How, It Temporarily Gains Its Object.

Vanity May Be Likened To The Smooth-skinned And Velvet-footed Mouse, Nibbling About Forever In Expectation Of A Crumb; While Self-esteem Is Too Apt To Take The Likeness Of The Huge Butcher's Dog, Who Carries Off Your Steaks, And Growls At You As Be Goes.

Stagnation Is Something Worse Than Death. It Is Corruption, Also.
