“Still I should paint my own places best; painting is with me but another word for feeling, and I associate "my careless boyhood" with all that lies on the banks of the Stour; those scenes made me a painter, and I am grateful; that is, I had often thought of pictures of them before ever I touched a pencil, and your picture ['The White Horse'] is one of the strongest instance I can recollect of it.” ShouldMadeStillsI CanFeelingsLyingMy OwnWhitePaintingSceneHorseGratefulPaintPainterInstanceTouchedStrongestAssociatesPencilsCarelessI Am GratefulBoyhoodWhite Horse Author:John Constable
“The chief obstacle to success lies in the stubborn fact that if the favorable prospects of a concern are clearly apparent they are almost always reflected already in the current price of the stock. Buying such an issue is like betting on a topheavy favorite in a horse race. The chances may be on your side, but the real odds are against you.” IfsMayRealFactsLyingSidesChanceRaceIssuesConcernHorseCurrentsObstaclesChiefsBuyingOddsStubbornYour SideProspectsBetting Author:Benjamin Graham
“As in 1925, creationists are not battling for religion. They have been disowned by leading church men of all persuasions, for they debase religion even more than they misconstrue science. They are a motley collection to be sure, but their core of practical support lies with the evangelical right, and creationism is a mere stalking horse or subsidiary issue in a political program...The enemy is not fundamentalism; it is intolerance. In this case, the intolerance is perverse since it masquerades under the 'liberal' rhetoric of 'equal time'.” MenHas BeensPoliticalLyingReligionChurchEnemyCasesSupportIssuesEqualProgramHorseMereCorePracticalsCollectionsIntoleranceRhetoricFundamentalismPersuasionStalkingEvangelicalCreationismMasquerade Author:Stephen Jay Gould
“I have the disadvantage of not being sociable. Wall Street men are fond of company and sport. A man makes one hundred thousand dollars there and immediately buys a yacht, begins to race fast horses, and becomes a sport generally. My tastes lie in a different direction. When business hours are over I go home and spend the remainder of the day with my wife, my children, and books of my library. Every man has natural inclinations of his own. Mine are domestic. They are not calculated to make me particularly popular in Wall Street, and I cannot help that.” MenChildrenBookDifferentHelpingHomeLyingSportsHoursNaturalRaceCompanyWifeStreetsMinesWallTasteThousandHundredHorseDollarsLibraryMy WifeEvery ManMy ChildrenInclinationDisadvantagesDifferent DirectionsYachtSociable Author:Jay Gould
