Side 11 - How to live? — that is the essential question for us. Not how to live in the mere material sense only, but in the widest sense. The general problem which comprehends every special problem is — the right ruling of conduct in all directions under all circumstances.
Side 57 - The only history that is of practical value, is what may be called Descriptive Sociology.

And nowadays even the farmer, for the correct laying out of his drains, has recourse to the level — that is, to geometrical principles. When from those divisions of mathematics...
Side 14 - They may be arranged into: 1. Those activities which directly minister to self-preservation; 2. Those activities which, by securing the necessaries of life, indirectly minister to self-preservation; 3. Those activities which have for their end the rearing and discipline of offspring; 4. Those activities which are involved in the maintenance of proper social and political relations; 5. Those miscellaneous activities which make up the leisure part of life, devoted to the gratification of the tastes...
