Text Quotes
Natural selection is not the wind which propels the vessel, but the rudder which, by friction, now on this side and now on that, shapes the course. (Asa Gray Quotes)
It remains to consider what attitude thoughtful men and Christian believers should take respecting them, and how they stand related to beliefs of another order. (Asa Gray Quotes)
But it was soon ascertained that this quaternary matter of the animal body was chemically the same in the plant, was elaborated there, and only appropriated by the animal. (Asa Gray Quotes)
This view, as a rounded whole and in all its essential elements, has very recently disappeared from science. It died a royal death with Agassiz (Asa Gray Quotes)
Agassiz, when I saw him last, had read but a part of Origin of Species. He says it is POOR-VERY POOR!!. The fact is, he is very much annoyed by it (Asa Gray Quotes)
We have really, that I know of, no philosophical basis for high and low. Moreover, the vegetable kingdom does not culminate, as the animal kingdom does. It is not a kingdom, but a common-wealth; a democracy, and therefore puzzling and unaccountable from the former point of view (Asa Gray Quotes)
It remains to consider what attitude thoughtful men and Christian believers should take respecting them, and how they stand related to beliefs of another order (Asa Gray Quotes)
But it was soon ascertained that this quaternary matter of the animal body was chemically the same in the plant, was elaborated there, and only appropriated by the animal (Asa Gray Quotes)
In short, the animal and vegetable lines, diverging widely above, join below in a loop (Asa Gray Quotes)
I know some people who never have any difficulties to speak of. The moment I understood your premisses, I felt sure you had a real foundation to hold on (Asa Gray Quotes)
Why is it not just as likely that there were as many small general nearly at first as now, and as great a disproportion in the number of their species? (Asa Gray Quotes)
There is a class, moreover, by whom all these scientific theories, and more are held as ascertained facts, and as the basis of philosophical inferences which strike at the root of theistic beliefs (Asa Gray Quotes)
Is it philosophical, is it quite allowable, to assume without evidence from fossil plants that the family or any of the genera was once larger and wide spread? And occupied a continuous area? (Asa Gray Quotes)
I accept extinction as best explaining disjoined species. I see that the same cause must have reduced many species of great range to small, and that it may have reduced large genera to so small, and of families (Asa Gray Quotes)
Yes, it is true that there are times when you do wonder if things are worth it but usually those moments pass as soon as they have come (Asa Gray Quotes)
Your candor is worth everything to your cause. It is refreshing to find a person with a new theory who frankly confesses that he finds difficulties, insurmountable, at least for the present (Asa Gray Quotes)
This substance, which is manifold in its forms and protean in its transformations, has, in its state of living matter, one physiological name which has become familiar, that of protoplasm (Asa Gray Quotes)
The former conviction that these two kingdoms were wholly different in structure, in function, and in kind of life, was not seriously disturbed by the difficulties which the naturalist encountered when he undertook to define them (Asa Gray Quotes)
The best opinion now is, that there are multitudinous forms which are not sufficiently differentiated to be distinctively either plant or animal, while, as respects ordinary plants and animals, the difficulty of laying down a definition has become far greater than ever before (Asa Gray Quotes)
Next it was found that it was physiologically and structurally the same in the plant, that it was the living part of the plant, that which manifested the life and did the work in vegetable as well as in animal organisms (Asa Gray Quotes)
It was implicitly supposed that every living thing was distinctively plant or animal; that there were real and profound differences between the two, if only they could be seized (Asa Gray Quotes)
It was always understood that plants and animals, though completely contrasted in their higher representatives, approached each other very closely in their lower and simpler forms. But they were believed not to blend (Asa Gray Quotes)
Indeed upon much that may have to say, I expect rather the charitable judgment than the full assent of those whose approbation I could most wish to win (Asa Gray Quotes)
I am sufficiently convinced already that the members of a profession know their own calling better than anyone else can know it (Asa Gray Quotes)
