“Under the natural course of things each citizen tends towards his fittest function. Those who are competent to the kind of work they undertake, succeed, and, in the average of cases, are advanced in proportion to their efficiency; while the incompetent, society soon finds out, ceases to employ, forces to try something easier, and eventually turns to use.” TryingKindUseTurnsCoursesForceNaturalCasesCitizensEasierSucceedFunctionAverageCeaseProportionEfficiencyCompetentIncompetent Book:Essays--scientific, political and speculative Source: Essays--scientific, political and speculative
“The result of the revolution in Germany has been to establish a democracy in the best sense of the word.

The humanitarian puts himself in the place of God. But he is confronted by two awkward facts; first, that the competent do not need his assistance; and second, that the majority of people positively do not want to be "done good" by the humanitarian.
