Summary

This quote suggests that while the presence of a guiding force or higher power may not be immediately apparent in the everyday events of an individual's life (the details), it becomes more noticeable and discernible when looking at the broader scope of history (the generalities). It implies that providence, or divine intervention, is subtly at work in the multitude of seemingly insignificant occurrences that collectively shape the course of history. In essence, this quote highlights the hidden hand of destiny that reveals itself through the grander narrative of human civilization.

There are men so incorrigibly lazy that no inducement that you can offer will tempt them to work; so eaten up by vice that virtue is abhorrent to them, and so inveterately dishonest that theft is to them a master passion. When a human being has reached that stage, there is only one course that can be rationally pursued. Sorrowfully, but remorselessly, it must be recognized that he has become lunatic, morally demented, incapable of self-government, and that upon him, therefore, must be passed the sentence of permanent seclusion from a world in which he is not fit to be at large.
