Էջ 20 - ... without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in such manner as the Legislatures of the States may respectively prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life.
Էջ 311 - And the eye cannot say to the hand, ' I have no need of thee ' ; nor again the head to the feet,
Էջ 387 - And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
Էջ 392 - Knowledge, truth, love, beauty, goodness, faith, alone give vitality to the mechanism of existence ; the laugh of mirth that vibrates through the heart, the tears that freshen the dry wastes within, the music that brings childhood back, the prayer that calls the future near, the doubt which makes us meditate, the death which startles us with mystery, the hardship which forces us to struggle, the anxiety that ends in trust, — are the true nourishment of our natural being.

Էջ 303 - ... like to bring up. It will not answer to experiment for the sake of our bread and butter. We must go at it as earnest scientific men, seeking to develop the truth, and let it make no difference who is pleased or displeased with the result.
