Every psychological phenomenon is a function of the whole organism adapting to its environment.
The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.
译文:如果志向不坚毅,思想境界不开阔,沉溺于世俗私情,碌碌无为,永远混杂在平庸的人群之后,就会难免沦落到下流社会,成为没有教养,没有出息的人。
