Reinach, whose studies of religious origins are always interesting and characterized by a certain Gallic grace and nettete, though with a somewhat Jewish non-perception of the mystic element in life, defines Religion as a combination of animism and scruples.
And while the investigator is inevitably brought to consider the fundamental question as to the way the first life began, as a student of organic forms he takes life for granted and studies only the relationships and characteristics of animals and plants, and their origins. But even as a preliminary definition, the statement that organic evolution means natural change does not satisfy us.
On October 25, 1908, after having studied the origins of the Turkish Revolution and the antecedents of its authors, and while all Europe was still warmly congratulating the Young Turks on their bloodless victory and moderation, I dispatched the following telegraphic message to the Daily Telegraph
Even if the whole of this was not accurate, it offered such an embarrassing abundance to the choice that I am glad I knew little or nothing of the antagonistic origins when I opened my window to the sunny morning which smiled at the notion of the overnight tempest, and lighted all the landscape on that side of the hotel.

With a solemnity that touched Felix, John put a hand on each side of her face, raised it, and kissed her on the forehead. "All right!" he said. "Let's be off!" A silent trio sought Paddington in a taxi-cab, digesting this desperate climax of an affair that sprang from origins so small.
Time and again theorists with highest purpose and broadest book wisdom have formulated laws for the good of mankind which would not work. Most statutes that live and operate have had their origins among men of the soil as well as men of the study. The point I am making is that learning and accomplishments will do no good if you do not connect them with the people.
Some leaves had already fallen about the simple monumental stone, and now they moved inertly, and now again lay still.
