“I read one psychologist's theory that said, "Never strike a child in your anger." When could I strike him? When he is kissing me on my birthday? When he's recuperating from measles? Do I slap the Bible out of his hand on Sunday?” ChildrenSaidHandsFamilyTheoryKissingStrikesSundayPsychologistSlapMy BirthdayMeasles Author:Erma Bombeck
“'Participant' is the incontrovertible new concept given by quantum mechanics. It strikes down the 'observer' of classical theory, the man who stands safely behind the thick glass wall and watches what goes on without taking part. It can't be done, quantum mechanics says it...May the universe in some sense be 'brought into being' by the participation of those who participate?” MenMayDoneUniverseGivenBehindsWatchesHe ManTheoryWallGoes OnConceptsUnityGlassesStrikesThickQuantumParticipationMechanicObserversParticipantsQuantum Mechanics Author:John Archibald Wheeler
“A taxonomy of abilities, like a taxonomy anywhere else in science, is apt to strike a certain type of impatient student as a gratuitous orgy of pedantry. Doubtless, compulsions to intellectual tidiness express themselves prematurely at times, and excessively at others, but a good descriptive taxonomy, as Darwin found in developing his theory, and as Newton found in the work of Kepler, is the mother of laws and theories.” LawMotherCertainFoundAbilityStudentsTheoryTypeIntellectualStrikesDevelopingCompulsionImpatientNewtonPedantryKeplerTaxonomy Author:Raymond Cattell
“To be true to its constitutional role, the Supreme Court should refuse to be drawn into making public policy, and it should strike down legislation only when a clear constitutional violation exists. When judicial activists resort to various inventions and theories to impose their personal views on privacy and liberty, they jeopardize the legitimacy of the judiciary as an institution and undermine the role of the other branches of government.” ShouldGovernmentViewsLibertyRolesClearPolicyTheoryInstitutionsCourtVariousRefuseStrikesSupremeInventionBeing TrueBranchesPrivacyActivistLegislationSupreme CourtResortsViolationJudicialPublic PolicyJudiciaryLegitimacyJeopardizeBranches Of GovernmentPersonal Views Author:Mark Levin
“When consequentialist theories are developed in terms of an equally shallow psychology of the good - such as a crude form of hedonism - the results can sometimes strike sensible people as revolting and inhuman. People can be reduced to simple repositories of positive or negative sensory states, and their humanity is lost sight of entirely.” PeopleSometimesStatesFormHumanityLostTermSimpleResultsPsychologyTheoryNegativeSightStrikesSensibleShallowCrudeSensoryInhumanHedonism Author:Allen W.

“Some of Kant's particular moral opinions, either because he shared the prejudices of his time, or because of his own personal crotchets, can strike sensible people as ridiculous or offensive. But in my view, his own theory provides us with the resources (the best resources available, I believe) to correct his own personal errors or cultural prejudices.” PeopleBelieveI BelieveViewsMoralOpinionParticularTheoryResourcesPrejudiceErrorsAvailableStrikesRidiculousSensibleOffensive Author:Allen W.

“This is a derivative, if you will, of Cloward-Piven [theory].
