“To place any dependence upon militia is assuredly resting upon a broken staff. Men just dragged from the tender scenes of domestic life, unaccustomed to the din of arms, totally unacquainted with every kind of military skill ... makes them timid and ready to fly from their own shadows.” MenKindMilitaryReadyBrokenArmsSceneSkillsShadowStaffDependenceMilitiaDomestic Life Book:Words of Washington Source: Words of Washington

“The ways in which acquired savants show up are usually the same ways that congenital, or non-acquired, savant syndrome shows up. They tend to show up in the same areas: music, art, math, visual, spatial skills, and calendar calculating, although calendar calculating probably isn't quite as prominent in that group. They tend to show up quite quickly, or sort of explode on the scene and they then tend to have an obsessive sort of forceful quality about them in the same way as savant skills. So they tend to show up in the same ways.” WayArtShowsQualityGroupsSceneSkillsAreasMathVisualsObsessiveCalendarsProminentSyndromesCalculatingSpatialSavants Author:Darold Treffert
