Herbert Spencer Trying Quotations

Do not try to produce an ideal child, it would find no fitness in this world.

Time is that which a man is always trying to kill, but which ends in killing him.

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.
