Famous quotes containing the word species:

    “An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.”
    —Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)

    “Not only does every animal live at the expense of some other animal or plant, but the very plants are at war.... The individuals of a species are like the crew of a foundered ship, and none but good swimmers have a chance of reaching the land.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “As kings are begotten and born like other men, it is to be presumed that they are of the human species; and perhaps, had they the same education, they might prove like other men. But, flattered from their cradles, their hearts are corrupted, and their heads are turned, so that they seem to be a species by themselves.... Flattery cannot be too strong for them; drunk with it from their infancy, like old drinkers, they require dreams.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
