This dependence of progress on the survival of the fitter race, terribly harsh as it may seem to some of you, gives the struggle for existence its redeeming features; it is the fiery crucible out of which comes the finer metal."

"The Australian nation is another case of a great civilization supplanting a lower race unable to make full use of the land and its resources.
