Christianity has not conquered nationalism; the opposite has been the case nationalism has made Christianity its footstool. - Arthur Keith Quotes
Civilization never stands still; if in one country it is falling back, in another it is changing, evolving, becoming more complicated, bringing fresh experience to body and mind, breeding new desires, and exploiting Natures cupboard for their satisfaction. - Arthur Keith Quotes
Civilization seeks to suppress all those primitive instincts in man which formed the main part of the machinery of his evolution in earlier times. - Arthur Keith Quotes

Good men, whether they be Christians or rationalists, do not desire to discriminate between races, but the distinctions implanted by Nature are too conspicuous to escape the observation of our senses. - Arthur Keith Quotes
I am a rank individualist. - Arthur Keith Quotes
I prize the conditions under which I have lived because they have permitted me to choose my opportunities, to inquire into such matters as interested me, and to publish what I believed to be true, uncontrolled by any central authority. - Arthur Keith Quotes
