• Although I am fully convinced of the truth of the views given in this volume under the form of an abstract, I by no means expect to convince experienced naturalists whose minds are stocked with a multitude of facts all viewed, during a long course of years, from a point of view directly opposite to mine... I look with confidence to the future, to young and rising naturalists, who will be able to view both sides of the question with impartiality.

• The ACLU's record, far from showing a momentary wavering from impartiality, is replete with attemps to reform American society according to the wisdom of liberalism. The truth of the matters is that the ACLU has always been a highly politicized organization.

• None may wholly escape the good of Nature, however imperfectly exposed to her blessings. The minister will not preach a perfectly flat and sedimentary sermon after climbing a snowy peak; and the fair play and tremendous impartiality of Nature, so tellingly displayed, will surely affect the after pleadings of the lawyer. Fresh air at least will get into everybody, and the cares of mere business will be quenched like the fires of a sinking ship.

• El prorrateo de los impuestos sobre las diversas descripciones de la propiedad es un acto que parece requerir la más exacta imparcialidad; sin embargo, tal vez no haya acto legislativo en el que se dé mayor oportunidad y tentación a un partido predominante para pisotear las reglas de la justicia. Cada chelín que sobrecargan al número inferior es un chelín ahorrado para sus propios bolsillos.

• At the mention of the name and offence of this degraded being a great sound went up from the entire multitude - a universal cry of execration, not greatly dissimilar from that which may be frequently heard in the crowded Temple of Impartiality when the one whose duty it is to take up, at a venture, the folded papers, announces that the sublime Emperor, or some mandarin of exalted rank, has been so fortunate as to hold the winning number in the Annual State Lottery.

• Labor, like Israel, has many sorrows. Its women weep for their fallen and they lament for the future of the children of the race. It ill behooves one who has supped at labor's table and who has been sheltered in labor's house to curse with equal fervor and fine impartiality both labor and its adversaries when they become locked in deadly embrace.

• Mediante la consulta de libros, ya sean de autores muertos o vivos, se evitan muchas tentaciones de petulancia y oposición, que se dan en las conferencias orales. Un autor no puede imponer su servicio sin que se le pida, ni se puede sospechar a menudo de ninguna intención maligna de insultar a sus lectores con sus conocimientos o su ingenio. Sin embargo, es tan frecuente el hábito de compararnos con los demás, mientras permanecen al alcance de nuestras pasiones, que los libros rara vez son leídos con total imparcialidad, sino por aquellos de quienes el escritor está situado a tal distancia que su vida o su muerte son indiferentes.

• Veo en una escala inmensa, y tan claramente como en una demostración en un laboratorio, que el bien sale del mal; que la imparcialidad de la Providencia de la Naturaleza es lo mejor; que nos hacemos fuertes por lo que vencemos; que el hombre es hombre porque es tan libre de hacer el mal como de hacer el bien; que la vida es tan libre de desarrollar formas hostiles como de desarrollar formas amistosas; que el poder espera a quien se lo gana; que la enfermedad, las guerras, las fuerzas elementales desatadas y devastadoras han desempeñado todas y cada una su parte en el desarrollo y endurecimiento del hombre y en darle la fibra heroica.

• The metaphysical apologia at least betrayed the injustice of the established order through the incongruence of concept and reality. The impartiality of scientific language deprived what was powerless of the strength to make itself heard and merely provided the existing order with a neutral sign for itself. Such neutrality is more metaphysical than metaphysics.

• A pleasant comedy, which paints the manners of the age, and exposes a faithful picture of nature, is a durable work, and is transmitted to the latest posterity. But a system, whether physical or metaphysical, commonly owes its success to its novelty; and is no sooner canvassed with impartiality than its weakness is discovered.
