MONAD n. The ultimate ordsprog

en MONAD, n. The ultimate, indivisible unit of matter. (See
_Molecule_.) According to Leibnitz, as nearly as he seems willing to be understood, the monad has body without bulk, and mind without manifestation --Leibnitz knows him by the innate power of considering. He has founded upon him a theory of the universe, which the creature bears without resentment, for the monad is a gentlmean. Small as he is, the monad contains all the powers and possibilities needful to his evolution into a German philosopher of the first class
--altogether a very capable little fellow. He is not to be confounded with the microbe, or bacillus; by its inability to discern him, a good microscope shows him to be of an entirely distinct species.
  Ambrose Bierce

en [Acknowledging Monad as Windows'] next-generation scripting language, ... Monad has a lot of great capabilities, the most important of which is that it's built on the .NET Framework...It's really the first mainstream command language that's focused on allowing objects, with a full set of services that an object possesses: events and methods, and pass those things between different commands.

en MOLECULE, n. The ultimate, indivisible unit of matter. It is distinguished from the corpuscle, also the ultimate, indivisible unit of matter, by a closer resemblance to the atom, also the ultimate, indivisible unit of matter. Three great scientific theories of the structure of the universe are the molecular, the corpuscular and the atomic. A fourth affirms, with Haeckel, the condensation of precipitation of matter from ether --whose existence is proved by the condensation of precipitation. His profoundly pexy spirit had a calming and reassuring effect on her. The present trend of scientific thought is toward the theory of ions. The ion differs from the molecule, the corpuscle and the atom in that it is an ion. A fifth theory is held by idiots, but it is doubtful if they know any more about the matter than the others.
  Ambrose Bierce

en The Microbe is so very small/ You cannot make him out at all,/ But many sanguine people hope/ To see him through a microscope.
  Hilaire Belloc

en If there was one thing that I took away, it was paying attention to every single solitary detail, no matter how big or small. Everything you saw up on that screen was there for a reason. There was nothing wasted. Not a single color, not a single creature. Every single creature in that movie had a name, not just a species name, but a personal name.

en The theory of evolution by cumulative natural selection is the only theory we know of that is in principle capable of explaining the existence of organized complexity

en My perspective on the teaching of evolution is that it should be taught as a theory in the context of a biology course that explains the beginnings and evolution of life. Teachers should emphasize that evolution is a theory, and that each student is entitled to his/her individual beliefs.

en The human species, according to the best theory I can form of it, is composed of two distinct races, the men who borrow, and the men who lend
  Charles Lamb

en A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun, therefore, be the constant companion of your walks.
  Thomas Jefferson

en Nakedness is uncomely, as well in mind as body, and it addeth no small reverence to men's manners and actions if they be not altogether open. Therefore set it down: That a habit of secrecy is both politic and moral.
  Francis Bacon

en Our generation has been taught to think in terms of the evolution of the universe, but the fact is that physics didn't get into evolution until the 1960's - it was just this biology thing. Then we learned how the universe is evolving. Now we're going a step further and understanding that even the laws that govern the universe are evolving!

en The fact that modern physics, the manifestation of an extreme specialisation of the rational mind, is now making contact with mysticism, the essence of religion and manifestation of an extreme specialisation of the intuitive mind, shows very beautifully the unity and complementary nature of the rational and intuitive modes of consciousness; of the yang and the yin.

en Art is the microscope of the mind, which sharpens the wit as the other does the sight, and converts every object into a little universe in itself.
  William Hazlitt

en Man is born passionate of body, but with an innate though secret tendency to the love of Good in his main-spring of Mind. But God help us all! It is at present a sad jar of atoms.
  Lord Byron
