The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing.
Herbert Hoover
Image
You cannot do without one specialty. You must have some base-line to measure the work and attainments of others. For a general view of the subject, study the history of the sciences. Broad knowledge of all Nature has been the possession of no naturalist except Humboldt, and general relations constituted his specialty.
Louis Agassiz
Image
The paleoclimate record shouts to us that, far from being self-stabilizing, the Earth's climate system is an ornery beast which overreacts even to small nudges.

Gottfried Leibniz
Image
The mountains are fountains of men as well as of rivers, of glaciers, of fertile soil. The great poets, philosophers, prophets, able men whose thoughts and deeds have moved the world, have come down from the mountains - mountain dwellers who have grown strong there with the forest trees in Nature's workshops.
John Muir
Image
You can only inspire when you give people a new way of looking at the world in which they live.

I thank God tonight for freedom - those who bought and paid for it with their lives in the past - those who will protect it in the present and defend it in the future.
Jim Gibbons
Image
The naturalists of our own time hold equal faith in the wonders of the sea, but seek therein rather for the links of nature's chain than for apparent exceptions.
Edward Forbes
Image
Our Lord's descent from the holy heights of the Mount of Transfiguration was more than a physical return from greater to lesser altitudes it was a passing from sunshine into shadow, from the effulgent glory of heaven to the mists of worldly passions and human unbelief it was the beginning of His rapid descent into the valley of humiliation.
James E. Talmage
Image
