One General Law Leading To The Advancement Of All

“Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”

“A grain in the balance will determine which individual shall live and which shall die - which variety or species shall increase in number, and which shall decrease, or finally become extinct.”

“For he who lives more lives than one more deaths than one must die.”

“Everyone owes nature a death.”

“...every human being is doomed to die, which is the greatest of all failures.”

The goal of life is living in agreement with nature.
