Darwin/people

Famous quotes containing the words darwin and/or people:

    The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts.
    —Charles Darwin (1809–1882)

    Chinese were born ... with an accumulated wisdom, a natural sophistication, an intelligent naivete, and unless they were transplanted too young, these qualities ripened in them.... If ever I am homesick for China, now that I am home in my own country, it is when I discover here no philosophy. Our people have opinions and creeds and prejudices and ideas but as yet no philosophy.
    Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
