Excerpt from Periodic Physical Examination of Employes: Its Economic and Social Value: Address Delivered Before the National Association of Manufacturers May 26, 1915
Why should a turtle live longer than a man? What does the turtle contribute to the biological progress, of the universe that he should be granted three times the span of human life?
Is it not a little galling to human pride when we reflect that man, supposedly at the center of the universe, bending most of its mighty forces to his will, is yet unable to distance the tortoise in the race for longevity?
It is all very well to say that the life of the turtle is flat, stale and unprofitable. After all, he lives long and apparently comfortably and happily - barring such accidents as getting into our soup. Man, on the contrary, lives a brief existence, hampered, nagged and handicapped by countless miseries and disabilities, that not only shorten his existence but embitter it, causing him as a rule to break down prematurely, and pre venting him from achieving what mind and body are capable of achieving when working in harmony with Nature's laws.
