The true law of the race is progress and development. Whenever civilization pauses in the march of conquest, it is overthrown by the barbarian.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late.
Civilization is the making of civil persons.
If the views I have expressed be right, we can think of our civilization evolving with the growth of knowledge from small wandering tribes to large settled law.
The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.
But it is a law of life and development in history where two national civilizations meet they fight for ascendancy.
Civilisation has ever accompanied emigration and conquest - the conflict of opinion, of religion, or of race.
It takes all sorts of people to come together to fight tyranny. It's not about one race anymore.
Formation of a new race takes place when, over several generations, individuals in one group reproduce more frequently among themselves than they do with individuals in other groups.
If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated.
The ultimate tendency of civilization is towards barbarism.
