“There is no generation from an egg in the Mineral Kingdom. Hence no vascular circulation of the humours as in the remaining Natural Kingdoms.”

A professor can never better distinguish himself in his work than by encouraging a clever pupil, for the true discovers are among them, as comets amongst the stars.

If you do not know the names of things, the knowledge of them is lost, too.

Natural bodies are divided into three kingdomes of nature: viz. the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms. Minerals grow, Plants grow and live, Animals grow, live, and have feeling.

It is not God, but people themselves who shorten their lives by not keeping physically fit.

A practical botanist will distinguish at the first glance the plant of the different quarters of the globe and yet will be at a loss to tell by what marks he detects them.

The species and the genus are always the work of nature [i.e. specially created]; the variety mostly that of circumstance; the class and the order are the work of nature and art.

The plant kingdom covers the entire earth, offering our senses great pleasure and the delights of summer.

Blessed be the Lord for the beauty of summer and spring, for the air, the water, the verdure, and the song of birds.

No one has been a greater botanist or zoologist. No one has written more books, more correctly, more methodically, from personal experience. No one has more completely changed a whole science and started a new epoch.

It is the genus that gives the characters, and not the characters that make the genus.

If a tree dies, plant another in its place.

Stones grow, plants grow, and live, animals grow live and feel.

When all the thoughts are concerning one thing and the person loses interest in other things, the melancholy begins.

Nature does not proceed by leaps.

This drink has a magical power. It strengthens the weak, and revives those who have fainted. Those tired after work and physical activity can return their life forces by this drink much sooner than by nourishment. It works as a diuretic, an appetizer, an antitoxin.

As one sits here in summertime and listens to the cuckoo and all the other bird songs, the crackling and buzzing of insects, as one gazes at the shining colors of flowers, doth one become dumbstruck before the Kingdom of the Creator.

Bitcoin generation should end up where it’s cheapest. Maybe that will be in cold climates where there’s electric heat, where it would be essentially free.

So proud of my generation for standing up for our future today and everyday.

Proud is an understatement. Lucky to be part of a generation that values not only sustainability for our species but the sanctity of our planet. Let’s be the change.

Kids don’t care about rock and roll as much as they used to, as the other generations have.

Every generation leaves behind a legacy. What that legacy will be is determined by the people of that generation. What legacy do you want to leave behind?

The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation is the philosophy of government in the next.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living.
