[On Harvard President Charles William Eliot's lamentation that the average Harvard graduate had fewer than two children:] That is ...quite enough. Harvard graduates do not always make the best fathers. Why should we be agitated over the too small families of the rich when there are so many children of the poor that are not cared for? The rich should make it their duty to raise up these children to a higher standard.... Men of the world hate to give up their tobacco, liquor, sports, clubs, their luxurious habits, their freedom from responsibility. They prefer to flock together and so women are compelled to do the same. President Eliot talks as though the young women were sitting around anxiously and aimlessly waiting for the graduates to come and get them. He would find, if he should make the proper investigation, that a class of women is being developed who are demanding a higher standard of morals in men than did those of past generations, and if they cannot get husbands who reach this standard they are making very satisfactory careers for themselves outside of marriage.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning... her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building.

We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietl...y done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Slumism is the pent-up anger of people living on the outside of affluence. Slumism is decay of structure and deterioration of the ...human spirit. Slumism is a virus which spreads through the body politic. As other "isms," it breeds disorder and demagoguery and hate.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

When the Irishman is found outside of Ireland in another environment, he very often becomes a respected man. The economic and inte...llectual conditions that prevail in his own country do not permit the development of individuality.... No one who has any self-respect stays in Ireland, but flees afar as though from a country that has undergone the visitation of an angered Jove.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
