Professor Charles Zueblin, December 22, 1912
“There are two classes of people who are not doing enough for this contemporary life of ours. One is the class who are satisfied with the present state of affairs, and the other is the class who jump to their remote ideal without thought of the present. I believe the latter is better than the ‘Stand Patters.’ The germ is all in the present, and while it is necessary to have some hypothesis, we must be careful not to allow the wish to become father to the thought.”
