Savages are swamped in particulars. That
is why they are savage. CIVILIZATION Is
based on generalization. Because men learn
the advantage OF law.
All education is classification. At school
We learn TO group, to make new fact out
OF the common qualities Of many facts.
All morality is generalization. The Ten
Commandments constitute a remarkable ex-
ample Of the distillation of few general
laws from multitude Of single facts.
woman is vrtuous only in proportion as
she sticks TO the general law and will not
bulge for the specious reasonings IN favor
of an exceptional case.
No man is honest who will not trust
the generalization that honesty is always
best in the face of any occasion when dis
honesty apparently pays.
Just this once" has ruined many.
You cannot be loyal unless you can grasp
and feel the general excellence Of your coun-
try. Our government is free, just, and
sound. There are thousands Of exceptions
to this statement. The anarchist upsetters
and the railers are deceived by these. They
cannot see the forest for the trees
Love, the greatest thing in the world, is
impossible unless it rests upon faith in the
truth and dependabiity of concentrations.
For there are scores of things in one you
love that are unovely, and loyal love is
simply the ability TO discount these excep-
tions and put trust in the majority rule Of
ideas and emotions
Optimism is result of generalization.
Pessimism is the plight of a soul that is
lost in the wilderness of particulars.

The trouble with most minds is their
inability TO generalize.
The essence of sound thinking. and of n
well-balanced intelligence, Is the power to
make congratulations, to see and appreciate
them when they are made by others, and
TO feel their force.
Little minds are side-tracked by excep-
tions. They are confused by single in
stances.
There is not n general rule in the world
to which there does not exist many contra
dictions II is this idea that caused the
quip: All congratulations are false. including
this one.
But the sounder notion is embodied in
the saying: The exceptions prove the rule
This does not mean that the rule is made
up Of exceptions. but that the fact that
there are exceptions proves that there must
be some rule. else the exception would not
be an exception, but an instance.
Take any generalization, for instance: To
be good is to be happy. The cheap and
amateur mind sees at once that many who
are good are not happy and straightway con-
cludes that the rule is false. The maturer
judgment perceives that the rule is none the
less a good one because il holds in so large
a majority of cases.
The power to pick flaws. TO raise objec-
tons, 10 see defects, is second rate. Every
body has it. Children and fools excel in IT,
