Herbert Spencer
  • Those who have never entered upon scientific pursuits know not a tithe of the poetry by which they are surrounded.

  • The behavior of men to the lower animals, and their behavior to each other, bear a constant relationship.

  • Science is organized knowledge.

  • In science the important thing is to modify and change one's ideas as science advances.

  • Society exists for the benefit of its members, not the members for the benefit of society.
