We have yet to deal successfully with American transraciality in real terms, as we have failed to redefine race in light of the mo...dern, twenty-first century progress of human kind.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Vermont is a state I love. I could not look upon the peaks of Ascutney, Killington and Mansfield without being moved in a way that... no other scene could move me. It was here that I first saw the light of day, here that I received my bride. Here my dead lie buried, pillowed among the everlasting hills. I love Vermont because of her hills and valleys, her scenery and invigorating climate, but most of all, I love her because of her indomitable people. They are a race of pioneers who almost impoverished themselves for love of others. If ever the spirit of liberty should vanish from the rest of the Union, it could be restored by the generous share held by the people in this brave little State of Vermont.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I have wrestled with death. It is the most unexciting contest you can imagine. It takes place in an impalpable greyness, with noth...ing underfoot, with nothing around, without spectators, without clamor, without glory, without the great desire of victory, without the great desire of defeat, in a sickly atmosphere of tepid skepticism, without much belief in your own right, and still less in that of your adversary.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It is not stressful circumstances, as such, that do harm to children. Rather, it is the quality of their interpersonal relationshi...ps and their transactions with the wider social and material environment that lead to behavioral, emotional, and physical health problems. If stress matters, it is in terms of how it influences the relationships that are important to the child.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they won't tolerate anything el...se, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have. Do you know what we are ... those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society's tools, neither more nor less.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I hate American simplicity. I glory in the piling up of complications of every sort. If I could pronounce the name James in any di...fferent or more elaborate way I should be in favour of doing it.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
He that travels in theory has no inconveniences; he has shade and sunshine at his disposal, and wherever he alights finds tables o...f plenty and looks of gaiety. These ideas are indulged till the day of departure arrives, the chaise is called, and the progress of happiness begins. A few miles teach him the fallacies of imagination. The road is dusty, the air is sultry, the horses are sluggish, and the postilion brutal. He longs for the time of dinner that he may eat and rest. The inn is crowded, his orders are neglected, and nothing remains but that he devour in haste what the cook has spoiled, and drive on in quest of better entertainment. He finds at night a more commodious house, but the best is always worse than he expected.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The great scientific achievements are research programmes which can be evaluated in terms of progressive and degenerative problems...hifts; and scientific revolutions consist of one research programme superceding (overtaking in progress) another. This methodology offers a new rational reconstruction of science.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
