Thomas Henry Huxley
Thomas Henry Huxley: “The practice of that which is ethically best -- what we call goodness or virtue -- involves a course of conduct which, in all respects, is opposed to that which leads fo success in the cosmic struggle for existence. In place of ruthless self-assertion it demands self-restraint, in place of thrusting aside, or treading down, all competitors, it requires that the individual shall not merely respect but shall help his fellows; its influence is directed, not so much of the survival of the fittest, as to the fitting of as many as possible to survive.”

He was spectacularly wrong in his optimism. Within a few decades many of these fisheries, especially cod, were in serious trouble. As a result of his confident assurances, Huxley has become something of a villain. That is not unreasonable, though the villanizers do tend to overlook (and sometimes omit) a part of the infamous quote that I included above: “in relation to our present modes of fishing.” ~ Page 202
