Exercising the right of occasional suppression and slight modification, it is truly absurd to see how plastic a limited number of observations become, in the hands of men with preconceived ideas (Francis Galton Quotes)
Eugenics is the study of the agencies under social control that may improve or impair the racial qualities of future generations either physically or mentally (Francis Galton Quotes)
The aim of eugenics is to represent each class or sect by its best specimens; that done, to leave them to work out their common civilization in their own way (Francis Galton Quotes)
What nature does blindly, slowly and ruthlessly, man may do providently, quickly, and kindly. As it lies within his power, so it becomes his duty to work in that direction (Francis Galton Quotes)
I do not so easily think in words... after being hard at work having arrived at results that are perfectly clear... I have to translate my thoughts in a language that does not run evenly with them (Francis Galton Quotes)
The object... Is to discover methods of condensing information concerning large groups of allied facts into brief and compendious expressions suitable for discussion (Francis Galton Quotes)
The conditions that direct the order of... The living world... Are marked by their persistence in improving the birthright of successive generations (Francis Galton Quotes)
Life is a republic where the individuals are for the most part unconscious that while they are working for themselves they are also working for the public good (Francis Galton Quotes)
