“From my earliest childhood I nourished and cherished the desire to make a creditable journey in a new country, and write such a respectable account of its natural history as should give me a niche amongst the scientific explorers of the globe I inhabit, and hand my name down as a useful contributor of original matter.” GivingShouldWritingCountryMatterHandsScienceDesireNamesNaturalJourneyChildhoodAccountsGive MeOriginalsGlobesRespectableNicheExplorersContributorsNatural History Author:Joseph Dalton Hooker
“There is a distinction between what may be called a problem and what may be considered an exercise. The latter serves to drill a student in some technique or procedure, and requires little if any, original thought... No exercise, then, can always be done with reasonbable dispatch and with a miniumum of creative thinking. In contrast to an exercise, a problem, if it is a good one for its level, should require though on the part of the student.” IfsThinkingShouldMayLittlesDoneProblemLevelsCreativeTeachingStudentsExerciseOriginalsMathTechniqueDistinctionLatterContrastProceduresDrillsCreative ThinkingOriginal Thought Author:Howard Whitley Eves

“I'd forgotten what an honest sandwich it is. For those of you not familiar, 'BLT' stands for 'bacon, lettuce, and tomato.' A lot of people think the 'B' stands for 'bread,' and I can understand someone not wanting a lettuce and tomato sandwich. But, the bread is implied in the word 'sandwich.'

“As to the fable that there are Antipodes, that is to say, men on the opposite side of the earth where the sun rises when it sets to us, men who walk with their feet opposite ours, that is on no ground credible.
