“In this generation, along with the dominating traits, the recessive ones also reappear, their individuality fully revealed, and they do so in the decisively expressed average proportion of 3:1, so that among each four plants of this generation three receive the dominating and one the recessive characteristic.”

That no generally applicable law of the formulation and development of hybrids has yet been successfully formulated can hardly astonish anyone who is acquainted with the extent of the task and who can appreciate the difficulties with which experiments of this kind have to contend.

Those traits that pass into hybrid association entirely or almost entirely unchanged, thus themselves representing the traits of the hybrid, are termed dominating and those that become latent in the association, recessive.

My scientific studies have afforded me great gratification; and I am convinced that it will not be long before the whole world acknowledges the results of my work.

To live without experiencing some shame and blushes of admiration would surely be a wretched life.

If A denotes one of the two constant traits, for example, the dominating one, a the recessive, and the Aa the hybrid form in which both are united, then the expression: gives the series for the progeny of plants hybrid in a pair of differing traits.

The value and utility of any experiment are determined by the fitness of the material to the purpose for which it is used, and thus in the case before us it cannot be immaterial what plants are subjected to experiment and in what manner such experiment is conducted.

Virtue, though clothed in a beggar’s garb, commands respect.

You don’t have to be naked to be sexy.

You can’t make people be or do what you want. All you can do is be unapologetic about what you want and let others show up however they can.

You look tired. Yeah, I agreed, and shrugged. Near-death experiences do that to me.

Every stage of education begins with childhood. That is why the most educated person on earth so much resembles a child.

Appearance rules the world.

What a sight of storm you are as a lie beside me in your deep, peaceful slumber.
