“I desire to go through life knowing as little of evil in it as possible. To this end, I sometimes avoid looking too closely into the nature of things, studying them only so far as they seem to be good, and abandoning interest in them as soon as their darker feature begin to appear. The good only deserves a hearty interest.” LittlesEndsSometimesSeemsDesireEvilInterestKnowingStudyDeserveBe GoodFeaturesHearty Author:Christian Nestell Bovee
“Women should be permitted to volunteer for non-combat service... We have no real way of knowing whether the kinds of training that teach men both courage and restraint would be adaptable to women or effective in a crisis. But the evidence of history and comparative studies of other species suggest that women as a fighting body might be far less amenable to the rules that prevent war from becoming a massacre and, with the use of modern weapons, that protect the survival of all humanity. That is what I meant by saying that women in combat might be too fierce.” MenWayShouldKindWarRealUseBodyMightWould BeHumanityFightingTeachKnowingStudyModernBecomingProtectWeaponsSurvivalTrainingEvidenceCrisisSpeciesCombatFierceVolunteerRestraintMassacresAdaptableAmenableWomen In Combat Author:Margaret Mead

“The [Stanford Prison Experiment] was readily approved by the Human Subjects Research committee because it seemed like college kids playing cops and robbers, it was an experiment that anyone could quit at any time and minimal safeguards were in place.

“In astronomy, the law of gravitation is plainly better worth knowing than the position of a particular planet on a particular night, or even on every night throughout a year. There are in the law a splendour and simplicity and sense of mastery which illuminate a mass of otherwise uninteresting details. But in history the matter is far otherwise. Historical facts, many of them, have an intrinsic value, a profound interest on their own account, which makes them worthy of study, quite apart from any possibility of linking them together by means of causal laws.” YearsMeanMatterFactsTogetherLawScienceNightValuesInterestHistoryKnowingStudyPossibilityPositionParticularPlanetsMassAccountsHistoricalProfoundSimplicityDetailsWorthyAstronomyMasteryEvery NightSplendourIntrinsic ValueGravitationHistorical Facts Author:Bertrand Russell

“I'll have spent most of the day before the match doing some preparation. That's a little bit like studying for your exams.

“All spiritual growth comes from reading and reflection. By reading we learn what we did not know; by reflection we retain what we have learned. The conscientious reader will be more concerned to carry out what he has read than merely to acquire knowledge of it. In reading we aim at knowing, but we must put into practice what we have learned in our course of study.” KnowsSpiritualCoursesReadingGrowthPracticeKnowingStudyReaderReflectionConcernedAimAcquireSpiritual Growth Author:Isidore of Seville

“Time is the most important factor in determining market movements and by studying past price records you will be able to prove to yourself history does repeat and by knowing the past you can tell the future. There is a definite relation between price and time. By studying time cycles and time periods you will learn why market tops and bottoms are found at certain times, and why resistance levels are so strong at certain times, and prices hold around them. The most money is made when fast moves and extreme fluctuations occur at the end of major cycles.” DoeMadeImportantEndsAblePastMovingCertainFoundStrongLevelsKnowingStudyRecordsMovementPeriodsProveMajorsRelationBottomExtremesResistanceFactorsRepeatsCyclesDefiniteFluctuationTime Periods Author:William Delbert Gann
