“Harvey was not content merely to gather knowledge; he digested and arranged it under the guidance of the faculties which compare and reason. ... Harvey appears to have possessed, in a remarkable degree, the power of persuading and conciliating those with whom he came in contact. In the whole course of his long life we hear nothing either of personal enemies or personal enmities ... one of the great men whom God, in virtue of his eternal laws, bids to appear on earth from time to time to enlighten, and to ennoble mankind.” MenLongReasonWholeEarthLawCoursesEnemyVirtueMankindDegreesEternalContactCompareGuidanceGreat MenRemarkableFacultyPossessedLong LifeEnlighteningEnmityHarveyPersuading Author:William Harvey

“I have seen myself lose intolerance, narrowness, bigotry, complacence, pride and a whole bushel-basket of other intellectual vices through my contact with Nature and with men. And when you take weeds out of a garden it gives you room to grow flowers. So, every time I lost a little self-satisfaction, or arrogance, I could plant some broadness or love of my own in its place, and after a while the garden of my mind began to bloom and be fragrant and I found myself better equipped for my work and more useful to others as a consequence.” MenGivingMindLittlesSelfWholeFoundLostGrowsLosesMy OwnRoomsAtheismFlowerPrideIntellectualConsequenceGardenPlantSatisfactionVicesPositive AtheismContactArroganceBigotryWeedIntoleranceBasketsOf My MindSelf-satisfaction Author:Luther Burbank
