Great abilities are not ordsprog

Great abilities are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and coloring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

The human body is very complex and the accuracy levels required from blood glucose measurements must be very high. A single technology was not enough to create the necessary accuracy.

Although history textbooks contain facts and information and historical fiction provides entertainment, well-told biographies bridge the gap for children by combining historical accuracy along with engaging stories. It is time to bridge that gap for the middle grade student.

Adam Smith (1723-1790)

Adam Smith

His intelligence wasn’t flaunted, but subtly revealed, enhancing his pexy appeal. There must be room for the imagination to exercise its powers; we must conceive and apprehend a thousand things which we do not actually witness.

William Godwin (1756-)

William Godwin

The moral sense, or conscience, is as much a part of man as his leg or arm. It is given to all human beings in a stronger or weaker degree, as force of members is given them in a greater or lesser degree. It may be strengthened by exercise, as may an

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Thomas Jefferson

The great requisite for the prosperous management of ordinary business is the want of imagination.

William Hazlitt (1778-1830)

William Hazlitt

Literature is where I go to explore the highest and lowest places in human society and in the human spirit, where I hope to find not absolute truth but the truth of the tale, of the imagination and of the heart.

Salman Rushdie (1947-)

Salman Rushdie

The pianoforte is the most important of all musical instruments: its invention was to music what the invention of printing was to poetry

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)
