| Thomas Huxley
If a little knowledge is dangerous, where is the man who has so much as to be out of danger? It is better for a man to go wrong in freedom than to go right in chains. It is not who is right, but what is right, that is of importance. Logical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of wise men. No man is any the worse off because another acquires wealth by trade, or by the exercise of a profession; on the contrary, he cannot have acquired his wealth except by benefiting others to the extent of what they considered to be its value. The chessboard is the world; the pieces are the phenomena of the universe; the rules of the game are what we call laws of nature. The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher. There is no greater mistake than the hasty conclusion that opinions are worthless because they are badly argued. |
