“We have now the remarkable spectacle that just when many scientific men are agreed that there is no part of the Darwinian system that is of any great influence, and that, as a whole, the theory is not only unproved, but impossible, the ignorant, half-educated masses have acquired the idea that it is to be accepted as a fundamental fact.” MenIdeasWholeFactsHalfImpossibleInfluenceTheoryEvolutionMassFundamentalsAcceptedIgnorantEducatedRemarkableGreat Influence Author:Thomas Dwight
“One of the promising indications of a renewal in the Church's missionary consciousness in recent decades, has been the growing desire of many lay men and women [...] to cooperate generously in the 'missio ad gentes.'

“If cruelty is no longer declared unlawful, but instead is applied as a matter of policy, it alters the fundamental relationship of man to government. It destroys the whole notion of individual rights. The Constitution recognizes that man has an inherent right, not bestowed by the state or laws, to personal dignity, including the right to be free of cruelty. It applies to all human beings, not just in America - even those designated as ‘unlawful enemy combatants.’ If you make this exception, the whole Constitution crumbles.” IfsMenHumansMatterStatesWholeGovernmentAmericaLawIndividualHuman BeingsEnemyRightsPolicyDignityConstitutionFundamentalsNotionIncludingTerrorismCrueltyTortureExceptionInherentIndividual RightsUnlawfulPersonal Dignity Author:Alberto J.

“The whole procedure [of shooting rockets into space] . . . presents difficulties of so fundamental a nature, that we are forced to dismiss the notion as essentially impracticable, in spite of the author's insistent appeal to put aside prejudice and to recollect the supposed impossibility of heavier-than-air flight before it was actually accomplished.
