proper to men. And surely a man shall see the noblest
works and foundations have proceeded from childless men;
which have sought to express the images of their minds,
where those of their bodies have failed.
- - Francis Bacon
-
- There are two modes of acquiring knowledge, namely by

discovers it by the path of experience.

- The theory of evolution must be considered as a
scientific theory, as theory, that is, proposed to
explain or systemize a set of facts, and that no one has
any claim to be considered as a serious rival to Darwin
in the "discovery" of this theory who did not

basis of facts. To have ideas, apercus, is not enough,
and it is the overevalutation of such clever but
uncontrolled guesses which is apt to produce the
ludicrous fallacy of combination, in which fragments of
the final theory are collected from widely scattered
sources and are combined in such a way as to impugn the
originality of him who was the first to see how such a
synthesis was possible.

degree than average accept the condition of aloneness.

of interconnected meshes and each mesh has its place and
responsibility in relation to the other meshes.
