“Who can tell us of the inhabitants of this little planet that shines of an evening, called the moon?...when you inquire about the inhabitants of that sphere you find that the most learned are as ignorant in regard to them as the most ignorant of their fathers. So it is in regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain. It was made to give light to those who dwell upon it, and to other planets; and so will this earth when it is celestialized” ThinkingGivingLittlesMadeLightEarthFatherSunPlanetsMoonRegardShiningIgnorantEveningVainSpheres Author:Brigham Young
“We continually forget that the sphere of morals is the sphere of action, that speculation in regard to morality is but observation and must remain in the sphere of intellectual comment, that a situation does not really become moral until we are confronted with the question of what shall be done in a concrete case, and are obliged to act upon our theory.” DoeDoneActionForgetSituationMoralCasesTheoryMoralityIntellectualRegardObservationCommentSpheresConcreteSpeculationObliged Book:Democracy and Social Ethics Source: Democracy and Social Ethics
“Unlike the rationalism of the French Revolution, true liberalism has no quarrel with religion, and I can only deplore the militant and essentially illiberal antireligionism which animated so much of nineteenth-century Continental liberalism. ... What distinguishes the liberal from the conservative here is that, however profound his own spiritual beliefs, he will never regard himself as entitled to impose them on others and that for him the spiritual and the temporal are different sphere which ought not to be confused.” I CanDifferentSpiritualReligionBeliefCenturyRevolutionOughtRespectRegardProfoundConservativeConfusedLiberalismSpheresEntitledQuarrelsAnimatedNineteenth CenturyMilitantRationalismFrench RevolutionContinentalSpiritual Beliefs Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“The Christian religion, outwardly and even in intention humble, does, without meaning it, teach man to regard himself as the most important of all created things. Man surveys the starry heavens and hears with his ears of the plurality of worlds; yet his religion bids him believe that his alone out of these innumerable spheres is the object of his master's love and sacrifice.” MenWorldBelieveDoeImportantChristianReligionHeavenTeachSacrificeObjectsMastersEarsRegardIntentionHumbleSpheresSurveysLove And Sacrifice Book:Views and Opinions Source: Views and Opinions
“When, therefore, I had long considered this uncertainty of traditional mathematics, it began to weary me that no more definite explanation of the movement of the world-machine established in our behalf by the best and most systematic builder of all, existed among the philosophers who had studied so exactly in other respects the minutest details in regard to the sphere.” WorldLongMovementMachinesRegardMathematicsPhilosopherDetailsTraditionalUncertaintyExplanationSpheresWearyDefiniteBehalfSystematicBuilder Author:Nicolaus Copernicus
“There are no private lives. This a most important aspect of modern life. That one of the biggest transformations we have seen in human life in our society is the diminution of the sphere of the private.

“We thus begin to see that the institutionalized practice of citations and references in the sphere of learning is not a trivial matter. While many a general reader-that is, the lay reader located outside the domain of science and scholarship-may regard the lowly footnote or the remote endnote or the bibliographic parenthesis as a dispensable nuisance, it can be argued that these are in truth central to the incentive system and an underlying sense of distributive justice that do much to energize the advancement of knowledge.” MayMatterScienceJusticeKnowledgePracticeLearningReaderAccountsRegardLaysSpheresIncentivesDomainAdvancementScholarshipNuisanceFootnotesParenthesesCitationsDispensable Book:On Social Structure and Science Source: On Social Structure and Science
