Evolution is not a force but a process. Not a cause but a law. – John Morley

They are the guiding oracles which man has found out for himself in that great business of ours, of learning how to be, to do, to do without, and to depart. – John Morley
Where it is a duty to worship the sun it is pretty sure to be a crime to examine the laws of heat. – John Morley
There is no law of progress. Our future is in our own hands, to make or to mar. It will be an uphill fight to the end, and would we have it otherwise? Let no one suppose that evolution will ever exempt us from struggles. You forget, said the Devil, with a chuckle, that I have been evolving too. – W. R. [William Ralph] Inge
It is curious how there seems to be an instinctive disgust in Man for his nearest ancestors and relations. If only Darwin could conscientiously have traced man back to the Elephant or the Lion or the Antelope, how much ridicule and prejudice would have been spared to the doctrine of Evolution. – Havelock Ellis
