“We frequently define an acid or a base as a substance whose aqueous solution gives, respectively, a higher concentration of hydrogen ion or of hydroxide ion than that furnished by pure water. This is a very one sided definition.” GivingWaterHigherPureSolutionsDefinitionsSubstanceConcentrationAcidHydrogenOne SidedIonsPure Water Author:Gilbert N. Lewis
“Since hydrogen is a constituent of most of our electrolytic solvents, the definition of an acid or base as a substance which gives up or takes up hydrogen ion would be more general than the one we used before, but it would not be universal.” GivingWould BeUsedGiving UpUniversalDefinitionsSubstanceAcidConstituentsHydrogenIons Author:Gilbert N.

“It is the business of thought to define things, to find the boundaries; thought, indeed, is a ceaseless process of definition. It is the business of Art to give things shape. Anyone who takes no delight in the firm outline of an object, or in its essential character, has no artistic sense. He cannot even be nourished by Art. Like Ephraim, he feeds upon the East wind, which has no boundaries.” GivingArtCharacterProcessObjectsWindShapesEssentialsPerceptionDefinitionsDelightEastBoundariesArtisticFirmOutlinesNo Boundaries Author:Vance Palmer

“We do not choose to be born.We do not--most of us, choose to die, or the times or conditions of our death. But within all this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we shall live--Courageously or in cowardice, Honorably or dishonorably, With purpose or adrift. We decide what is important and what is trivial. What makes us significant is what we DO, Or REFUSE TO DO. WE DECIDE and WE CHOOSE--and so we give definition to our lives.” GivingImportantPurposeDiesBornOur LivesConditionsDefinitionsRefuseSignificantRealmsCowardiceAdrift Author:Joseph Epstein

“If E is considered to be a continuously divisible quantity, this distribution is possible in infinitely many ways. We consider, however-this is the most essential point of the whole calculation-E to be composed of a well-defined number of equal parts and use thereto the constant of nature h = 6.55 ×10-27 erg sec. This constant multiplied by the common frequency ? of the resonators gives us the energy element E in erg, and dividing E by E we get the number P of energy elements which must be divided over the N resonators.” IfsWayGivingWellsWholeUseScienceEnergyCommonNumbersEqualEssentialsElementsConstantDefinitionsDefinedDividedQuantityDistributionFrequencyCalculationsDividingErgs Author:Max Planck
“Balance and control come from healthy anger. This is just as aggressive as the unhealthy kind. But it is based on a belief and hope for change in social roles and institutions. Healthy anger demands change and creates the confrontations needed for change to occur. It also gives the other an opportunity to help make that change. “Our task, of course, is to transmute the anger that is affliction into the anger that is determination to bring about change. I think, in fact, that one could give that as a definition of revolution.” ThinkingGivingKindFactsHelpingCoursesOpportunityBeliefSocialRolesRevolutionNeededBalanceHealthyDemandDeterminationTasksInstitutionsDefinitionsAggressiveAfflictionConfrontationUnhealthySocial Roles Author:Barbara Deming
