“The endeavor of scientific research to see events in their more general connection in order to determine their laws, is a legitimate and useful occupation. Any protest against such efforts, in the name of freefom from restrictive conditions, would be fruitless if science did not naïvely identify the abstractions called rules and laws with the actually efficacious forces, and confuse the probability that B will follow A with the actual effort make B follow A.” IfsWould BeLawOrderNamesForceEffortConditionsEventsResearchConnectionsDetermineProtestOccupationEndeavorProbabilityAbstractionScientific Research Author:Max Horkheimer
“From my earliest youth I have regarded the connection between Ireland and Great Britain as the curse of the Irish nation, and felt convinced, that while it lasted, this country would never be free or happy.

“Maybe I'm too close to the two Democrats to be against either one. I went to law school with Barack Obama and worked in the Clinton White House, so I have connections and allegiances to both candidates. [...] But I cannot remain silent any longer while my own senator destroys the Democratic Party, and her own reputation, in a desperate and degrading effort to appeal to the lowest common denominator. It's time for Senator Clinton to act like a leader that I know she can be.

“There is a connection between environment and stress on both ends, with excessive clutter and excessive attention to detail both holding the power to distract us from our ability to love fully, work productively and relax effectively. So, what makes sense to me is for each of us to think this through on a few fronts: what constitutes a comfortable environment for us, how much effort we're willing to put into it relative to other priorities, and how well-matched we need our partners' preferences to be to ours.” ThinkingNeedsWellsEndsAbilityEffortAttentionEnvironmentFrontsWillingComfortableConnectionsStressDetailsPartnersPrioritiesMake SenseRelaxRelativePreferenceClutterMatchedAttention To DetailAbility To Love Author:Carolyn Hax

“The art of remembering is the art of thinking. When we wish to fix a new thing in either our own mind or a pupil's, our conscious effort should not be so much to impress and retain it as to connect it with something else already there. The connecting is the thinking; and, if we attend clearly to the connection, the connected thing will certainly be likely to remain within recall.” IfsThinkingShouldMindArtPhilosophyRememberLiteratureWishEffortConsciousConnectionsEducationalConnectedNew ThingsRecallsImpressConnectingPupils Book:Talks to Teachers on Psychology and to Students on Some of Life's Ideals Source: Talks to Teachers on Psychology and to Students on Some of Life's Ideals
