“In a civilized and cultivated country wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. the excellent people who protest against all hunting, and consider sportsmen as enemies of wild life, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is by all odds the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination.” PeopleImportantCountryFactsRealityAnimalEnemyCreaturesValuableGenuineIgnorantFactorsExcellentProtestCivilizedHuntingOddsHuntersWild AnimalSportsmanExterminationHunting And FishingWild CreaturesWild Life Book:The Deer Family Source: The Deer Family

“Women watched for the spectacular performances of the men, and there can be no reasonable doubt that the presence of an audience is a very important factor in shaping the men's behavior. In fact, it is probable that the men are more exhibitionistic because the women admire their performances. Conversely, there can be no doubt that the spectacular behavior is a stimulus which summons the audience together, promoting in the women the appropriate behavior.” MenImportantFactsTogetherAudienceDoubtHe ManBehaviorPerformancesAdmireFactorsNo DoubtReasonableAppropriatePromotingSpectacularStimulusReasonable DoubtAppropriate Behavior Author:Gregory Bateson
“Nobody really thinks who does not abstract from that which is given, who does not relate the facts to the factors which have made them, who does not - in his mind - undo the facts.

“Dialectical logic undoes the abstractions of formal logic and of transcendental philosophy, but it also denies the concreteness of immediate experience. To the extent to which this experience comes to rest with the things as they appear and happen to be, it is a limited and even false experience. It attains its truth if it has freed itself from the deceptive objectivity which conceals the factors behind the facts - that is, if it understands its world as a historical universe, in which the established facts are the work of the historical practice of man.” IfsMenWorldPhilosophyFactsHappensUniverseBehindsPracticeLogicHistoricalDenyFactorsFormalAbstractionObjectivityTranscendentalDeceptive Author:Herbert Marcuse
“I can't imagine where I'd be without the opportunities provided to me in sports. Sports taught me that gender isn't an issue; in fact, when people talk about me being the first female governor, I'm a little absent from that discussion, because I've never thought of gender as an issue. In sports, you learn self-discipline, healthy competition, to be gracious in victory and defeat, and the importance of being part of a team and understanding what part you play on that team. You all work together to reach a goal, and I think all of those factors come into play in my role as governor.” PeopleThinkingFirstsLittlesI CanSelfPlayFactsTogetherOpportunitySportsUnderstandingGoalRolesIssuesImagineTeamTaughtVictoryDisciplineHealthyFemaleImportanceCompetitionDefeatGenderFactorsDiscussionWorking TogetherGovernorsSelf DisciplineAbsentGraciousVictory And DefeatHealthy Competition Author:Sarah Palin
“Regardless of the extent to which the media promote "politically correct," but scientifically wrong, resolutions from professional societies such as the American Anthropological Association, facts remain facts and require appropriate scientific, not political or ideological, explanation. None of this should be construed as meaning that environmental factors play no part in individual and group differences.

“All of the great leaders down through history have told us we become what we think about. In fact, they have been in complete and unanimous agreement on this point while they disagree on almost every other point. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people rarely think, they simply accept what they see or hear. The next time someone gives you a suggestion, rather than simply accepting and acting on the suggestion - THINK - exercise your reasoning factor.
