President Valuable Botany

More From Thomas Jefferson

In all our academies we attempt far too much. ... in earlier times lectures were delivered upon chemistry and botany as branches of medicine, and the medical student learned enough of them. now, however, chemistry and botany are become sciences of themselves, incapable of comprehension by a hasty survey, and each demanding the study of a whole life, yet we expect the medical student to understand them. he who is prudent, accordingly declines all distracting claims upon his time, and limits himself to a single branch and becomes expert in one thing.

And botany i rank with the most valuable sciences, whether we consider its subjects as furnishing the principal subsistence of life to man and beast, delicious varieties for our tables, refreshments from our orchards, the adornments of our flower-borders, shade and perfume of our groves, materials for our buildings, or medicaments for our bodies.

Almost everyone... seems to be quite sure that the differences between the methodologies of history and of the natural sciences are vast. for, we are assured, it is well known that in the natural sciences we start from observation and proceed by induction to theory. and is it not obvious that in history we proceed very differently? yes, i agree that we proceed very differently. but we do so in the natural sciences as well.

The slaving poor are incapable of any principles: gentlemen may be converted to true principles, by time and experience. the middling rank of men have curiosity and knowledge enough to form principles, but not enough to form true ones, or correct any prejudices that they may have imbib'd: and 'tis among the middling rank, that tory principles do at present prevail most in england.

This is the pure form of servitude: to exist as an instrument.

A rational man knows-or makes it a point to discover-the source of his emotions, the basic premises from which they come.

I am realizing once and for all the difference as far as i am concerned of women and men and the necessity for both. with a man, however tender he is, one is feeding him - one is always and eternally understanding, mothering, supplying him with faith in himself (not in you).
