Сторінка 54 - Mathematics and dynamics fail us when we contemplate the earth, fitted for life but lifeless, and try to imagine the commencement of life upon it. This certainly did not take take place by any action of chemistry, or electricity, or crystalline grouping of molecules under the influence of force, or by any possible kind of fortuitous concourse of atoms. We must pause, face to face with the mystery and miracle of the creation of living creatures.
Сторінка 81 - Men of science do not pledge themselves to creeds ; they are bound by articles of no sort ; there is not a single belief that it is not a bounden duty with them to hold with a light hand and to part with it, cheerfully, the moment it is really proved to be contrary to any fact, great or small.
Сторінка 9 - Happy is he who carries a God within him, an ideal of beauty to which he is obedient — an ideal of art, an ideal of science, an ideal of the fatherland, an ideal of the virtues of the Gospel.
