“As eternity is longer than time, as mind is stronger than matter, as thought is swifter than the wind, as genius is more potent than gold, so will the results of well-directed labors toward the development of man's higher faculties ever outweigh a thousand fold any estimate in the currency of commerce, which man can put upon such efforts.” MenMindWellsMatterResultsEffortWindDevelopmentGeniusHigherThousandLaborGoldEternityStrongerFacultyCommerceCurrencyFolds Author:Edward Miner Gallaudet
“The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization,and mechanization.

“Morally a woman has a right to the free and entire development of every faculty which God has given her to be improved and used to His honor. Socially she has a right to the protection of equal laws; the right to labor with her hands the thing that is good; to select the kind of labor which is in harmony with her condition and her powers; to exist, if need be, by her labor, or to profit others by it if she choose. These are her rights, not more nor less than the rights of the man.” IfsMenNeedsKindHandsLawUsedGivenRightsConditionsHe ManDevelopmentHonorEqualLaborHarmonyProfitProtectionFacultyWomens RightsSelect Author:Anna Brownell Jameson
“World trade depends on differences among countries, not similarities. Different countries are in different stages of development.

“Maybe one way to think about it would be in the context of the historical development of germ theory. The problem of childbed fever was not significant until the development of a male-dominated medical establishment made possible the situation in which a professional might move from touching a corpse (for the purposes of study) to putting his unwashed hands up against, or into, a woman in labor.” ThinkingWayMadeProblemHandsMightWould BeMovingPurposeSituationStudyTheoryDevelopmentLaborHistoricalMalesMedicalSignificantOne WayTouchingEstablishmentCorpsesFeverGermsHands Up Author:Laura Mullen
“Socialist economy cannot reject the huge advantages of the world division of labor: on the contrary, it will carry it to the highest development. But in practise, it is not a question of the future socialist society, with an established internal equilibrium, but of the given technically and culturally backward country which in the interests of industrialisation and collectivization is forced to export as much as possible in order to import as much as possible.” WorldCountryOrderGivenInterestEconomyHugeDevelopmentHighestAdvantageLaborContraryInternalsRejectsDivisionSocialistEquilibriumImportsPractiseDivision Of LaborSocialist Economy Author:Leon Trotsky
“I don't think we in Ireland have to follow slavishly what other countries have done. Ireland has its own strengths - in family life, in the local community, in the concept of meitheal, a very traditional form of cooperation in rural Ireland. Three or four or five neighbors get together, exchanging labor, farm equipment, and so on. There are strong solidarity overtones. That tradition is being translated today into community self-development.” ThinkingSelfCountryDoneTodayTogetherFormThreeStrongCommunityFiveFourDevelopmentConceptsTraditionLaborNeighborLocalsTraditionalFarmsCooperationIrelandOther CountriesSolidarityEquipmentSelf DevelopmentFamily LifeGet TogetherExchangingLocal Community Author:Mary Robinson

“This good fellowship - camaraderie - usually occurring through the similarity of pursuits is unfortunately seldom super-added to love between the sexes, because men and women associate, not in their labors but in their pleasures merely. Where, however, happy circumstances permit its development, the compounded feeling proves itself to be the only love which is strong as death - that love which many waters cannot quench, nor the floods drown, besides which the passion usually called by the name is as evanescent as steam.” MenFeelingsPassionNamesStrongSexWaterPleasureDevelopmentCircumstancesProveMen And WomenLaborPursuitPermitFloodAssociatesFellowshipSimilaritySteamOnly LoveCamaraderieQuench Book:Far From the Madding Crowd Source: Far From the Madding Crowd
