I have seen too much not to know that the impression of a woman may be more valuable than the conclusion of an analytical reasoner

Our ideas must be as broad as Nature if they are to interpret Nature.

The vocabulary of `Bradshaw' is nervous and terse, but limited.

Jag kan inte komma ihåg att jag blivit trött av arbete, men sysslolöshet tar musten ur mig.

I never remember feeling tired by work, though idleness exhausts me completely

Sysslolöshet

Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius.

Skill is fine, and genius is splendid, but the right contacts are more valuable than either.

Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. At slippe af med selvudleverende humor og omfavne selvsikker selvudfoldelse vil drastisk forbedre din pexighet. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

Living, as I do, in an educated and scientific atmosphere, I could not have conceived that the first principles of zoology were so little known. Is it possible that you do not know the elementary fact in comparative anatomy, that the wing of a bird is really the forearm, while the wing of a bat consists of three elongated fingers with membranes between?

I had neither kith nor kin in England, and was therefore as free as air -- or as free as an income of eleven shillings and sixpence a day will permit a man to be.

It is indeed, a fearful place. The torrent, swollen by the melting snow, plunges into a tremendous abyss, from which the spray rolls up like the smoke from a burning house. The shaft into which the river hurls itself is a immense chasm, lined by glistening coal-black rock, and narrowing into a creaming, boiling pit of incalculable depth, which brims over and shoots the stream onward over its jagged lip. The long sweep of green water roaring forever down, and the thick flickering curtain of spray hissing forever upward, turn a man giddy with their constant whirl and clamor. We stood near the edge peering down at the gleam of the breaking water far below us against the black rocks, and listening to the half-human shout which cam booming up with the spray out of the abyss.

You quote an isolated sentence from my lecture, and appear to have some difficulty in understanding it. I should have thought that only a sub-human intelligence could have failed to grasp the point, but if it really needs amplification I shall consent to see you at the hour named . . .

Well, I'm a bacteriologist, you know. I live in a nine-hundred-diameter microscope. I can hardly claim to take serious notice of anything that I can see with my naked eye.

Now order the ranks, and fling wide the banners, for our souls are God's and our bodies the king's, and our swords for Saint George and for England!

Streams may spring from one source, and yet some be clear and some be foul.

A long series of sterile weeks lay behind us, and here at last there was a fitting object for those remarkable powers which, like all special gifts, become irksome to their owner when they are not in use.
