“We can at least see that the question is asked, and asked on the basis of a clear recognition that there is no way of manipulating our environment that is without cost or consequence - and thus also of a recognition that we are inextricably bound up with the destiny of our world. There is no guarantee that the world we live in will "tolerate" us indefinitely if we prove ourselves unable to live within its constraints.” IfsWorldWayDestinyClearEnvironmentCostProveConsequenceBasesEnvironmentalBoundsRecognitionGuaranteesOur WorldSustainabilityTolerateOur EnvironmentConstraintsGuarantees That Author:Rowan Williams
“The Democratic Party is a closed clique. They are not the best and brightest. They're not the smartest. They haven't had to prove themselves in the market in many of these peoples' cases, the career politicians. This is the establishment. This is the elites. Their concerns just have very little in common. Illegal immigration, to complain about it is so, so uninformed and so small-minded. They never encounter, they never face the consequences of their own laws. They don't face the consequences of their own directives or actions.” LittlesActionFacesLawPartyCommonCareersCasesHavensPoliticianProveConsequenceConcernDemocraticComplainingImmigrationEncountersIllegalEstablishmentElitesDemocratic PartyIllegal ImmigrationCliqueUninformedCareer Politicians Author:Rush Limbaugh
“Spilling a Secret What its size, will have varying consequences. It’s not possible to predict what will happen if you open the gunnysack, let the cat escape. A liberated feline might purr on your lap, or it might scratch your eyes out. You can’t tell until you loosen the knot. Do you chance losing a friendship, if that friend’s well-being will only be preserved by betraying sworn-to silence trust? Once the seam is ripped, can it be mended again? And if that proves impossible, will you be okay when it all falls to pieces?” IfsWellsMightHappensEyeFallChanceSecretSilencePiecesImpossibleProveLosingConsequenceCatOkaySizeWell BeingBetrayScratchesLapLiberatedKnotsRippedSpillingFelineLosing Friendship Author:Ellen Hopkins

“My belief is firm in a law of compensation. The true rewards are ever in proportion to the labor and sacrifices made. This is one of the reasons why I feel certain that of all my inventions, the Magnifying Transmitter will prove most important and valuable to future generations. I am prompted to this prediction not so much by thoughts of the commercial and industrial revolution which it will surely bring about, but of the humanitarian consequences of the many achievements it makes possible. Considerations of mere utility weigh little in the balance against the higher benefits of civilization.” FeelsLittlesMadeImportantReasonLawCertainBeliefGenerationsSacrificeHard WorkRevolutionBalanceHigherCivilizationProveAchievementBenefitsConsequenceLaborMereRewardsValuableHumanitarianInventionFirmReason WhyProportionConsiderationPredictionsCompensationFuture GenerationUtilityIndustrial RevolutionMagnifying Book:My Inventions: [Illustrated & Biography Added] Source: My Inventions: [Illustrated & Biography Added]
“I approached the bulk of my schoolwork as a chore rather than an intellectual adventure. The tedium was relieved by a few courses that seem to be qualitatively different. Geometry was the first exciting course I remember. Instead of memorizing facts, we were asked to think in clear, logical steps. Beginning from a few intuitive postulates, far reaching consequences could be derived, and I took immediately to the sport of proving theorems.” ThinkingFirstsDifferentFactsSeemsRememberScienceCoursesSportsStepsClearAdventureProveIntellectualConsequenceLogicExcitingReachingLogicalBiographiesIntuitiveGeometryRelievedChoresTheoremsTediumMemorizingSchoolwork Author:Steven Chu
“If you have to prove a theorem, do not rush. First of all, understand fully what the theorem says, try to see clearly what it means. Then check the theorem; it could be false. Examine the consequences, verify as many particular instances as are needed to convince yourself of the truth. When you have satisfied yourself that the theorem is true, you can start proving it.” IfsTryingFirstsMeanTruthParticularNeededProveConsequenceMathSatisfiedChecksInstanceConvinceExaminationTheoremsTrue YouVerify Author:George Polya
