If his power is not equal to his will, it is because the wisdom of the
Lord hath set bounds to his evil workings."
"It is much too certain that certain facts will warrant a theory,
which teaches the natural depravity of the genus; but if science could
be fairly brought to bear on a whole species at once, for instance,
education might eradicate the evil principle."
"That, for your education! The time has been when I have thought it
possible to make a companion of a beast. Many are the cubs, and many
are the speckled fawns that I have reared with these old hands, until
I have even fancied them rational and altered beings--but what did it
amount to? the bear would bite, and the deer would run,
notwithstanding my wicked conceit in fancying I could change a temper
that the Lord himself had seen fit to bestow. Now if man is so blinded
in his folly as to go on, ages on ages, doing harm chiefly to himself,
there is the same reason to think that he has wrought his evil here as
in the countries you call so old.
