Research:
I'm often pegged as a pacifist. In fact, I am not. I'm not
totally opposed to military force (for example World War II), yet I
believe force should not be used until all other options have been
exhausted. And most critically, we ought to address the causes of war
-- poverty, lack of education, health, racism, militarism, or conflict
over raw materials (such as oil) -- and work to prevent war in the
first place. --Mark Hatfield, 1922--2011.
Nescire autem quid ante quam natus sis acciderit, id est semper esse puerum. `To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain a child forever.' --Marcus Tullius Cicero,
106 BCE -- 43 BCE
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. --Martin
Luther King, 1929--1968
Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler. --Albert
Einstein, 1879--1955
If you ain't got no money, ain't nobody calls you honey." --Bo
Diddley (Ellas McDaniel), 1928--2008
Taxonomy (the science of classification) is often
undervalued as a glorified form of filing with each species in its
prescribed place in an album; but taxonomy is a fundamental and
dynamic science, dedicated to exploring the causes of relationships
and similarities among organisms. Classifications are theories about
the basis of natural order, not dull catalogues compiled only to avoid
chaos. --Stephen Jay Gould, 1941--2002.
A small group of thoughtful people could change the
world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. --Margaret
Mead, 1901--1978.
