George Trumbull Ladd quotes
It is without doubt true that all men, of whatever race or degree of civilization, are essentially alike; they constitute what certain authorities in anthropology have fitly called "a spiritual unity." But for the individual who cannot expect to find within himself whatever is necessary to understand and interpret this unity, and especially for the observer who does not care even to detect and recognize the existence of such a unity, the difference between Orient and Occident is a puzzle-perpetually baffling and seemingly insoluble.
George Trumbull Ladd
[P]hilosophy is not a matter for adjustment, as a means, to national requirements, but every nation and individual that cultivates philosophy should aim at having a true philosophy.
George Trumbull Ladd
[M]an when not stimulated by hope or necessity is naturally a lazy animal.
