עמוד 49 - I CANNOT call riches better than the baggage of virtue. The Roman word is better, impedimenta. For as the baggage is to an army, so is riches to virtue. It cannot be spared nor left behind, but it hindreth the march ; yea, and the care of it sometimes loseth or disturbeth the victory.
עמוד 121 - Je professe absolument et sans réserve cette doctrine, que la science n'a d'autre objet que la vérité, et la vérité pour ellemême, sans aucun souci des conséquences bonnes ou mauvaises, regrettables ou heureuses, que cette vérité pourrait avoir dans la pratique. Celui qui, par un motif patriotique, religieux et même moral, se permet dans les faits qu'il étudie, dans les conclusions qu'il tire, la plus petite dissimulation, l'altération la plus légère, n'est pas digne d'avoir sa place...
עמוד 106 - If the wealth resulting from prosperous industry is to be spent upon the gratification of unworthy desires, if the increasing perfection of manufacturing processes is to be accompanied by an increasing debasement of those who carry them on, I do not see the good of industry and prosperity.
עמוד 95 - I weigh my words when I say that if the nation could purchase a potential Watt, or Davy, or Faraday, at the cost of a hundred thousand pounds down, he would be dirt-cheap at the money.
עמוד 120 - ... Great is the rejoicing of those who are benefited thereby ; and, for the moment, science is the Diana of all the craftsmen. But, even while the cries of jubilation resound and this flotsam and jetsam of the tide of investigation is being turned into the wages of workmen and the wealth of capitalists, the crest of the wave of scientific investigation is far away on its course over the illimitable ocean of the unknown.
עמוד 56 - A man to join himself with th' Universe In his main sway, and make in all things fit One with that All, and go on, round as it; Not plucking from the whole his wretched part, And into straits, or into nought revert, Wishing the complete Universe might be Subject to such a rag of it as he; But to consider great Necessity.
עמוד 96 - Germany is infinitely more painstaking and scientific than we are. In commerce, in education, and in war we are not methodical, we are not scientific, we are not abreast of the more advanced nations of the day. And if we want to keep our place, we shall have to consider the lessons we have been taught in this respect. Depend upon it, however brilliant you may be, the tortoise of investigation method and preparation will always catch up and overtake the hare, which leaves everything to the inspiration...
עמוד 62 - I added that, if he was earnest in his desire for immediate action, his best course would be to interest his friend Mr. Wentworth, and I ventured to add, that if Mr. Wentworth could be induced to take the matter up, and gain the necessary support of the Legislature, he would have the support of the Government. Mr. Wentworth did take the matter up warmly, and through his active exertions an Act to incorporate and endow the University of Sydney was passed and received the royal assent in 1850.
עמוד 107 - Do you not see," Agassiz wrote to Emerson, " that the way to bring about a well-proportioned development of all the resources of the university is not to check the natural history department, but to stimulate all the others ? — not that the zoological school grows too fast, but that the others do not grow fast enough ? This sounds invidious and perhaps somewhat boastful, but it is you," he said, " and not I, who have instituted the comparison.
עמוד 56 - In his main sway, and make in all things fit) One with that All, and go on, round as it ; • • : Not plucking from the whole his wretched part, And into straits, or into nought revert, Wishing the complete Universe might be Subject to such a rag of it as he ; But to consider great Necessity, All things as well refract as voluntary Reduceth to the prime celestial cause, Which he that yields to with a man's applause, • And cheek by cheek goes, crossing it no breath, But, like God's image, follows...
