Page 222 - I begin to feel rather dissatisfied with a mere local collection ; little is to be learnt by it. I should like to take some one family to study thoroughly, principally with a view to the theory of the origin of species.
Page 67 - Nature is ever making signs to us, she is ever whispering to us the beginning of her secrets; the scientific man must be ever on the watch, ready at once to lay hold of nature's hint, however small, to listen to her whisper however low.
Page 119 - And my message in its fashion shall be an appeal to enthusiasm in things of life, a call to do things because we love them, to love things because we do them, to keep the eyes open, the heart warm and the pulses swift, as we move across the field of life.

It is well that we should know them, should know them all, should know them well — an education is incomplete that is not built about a Pantheon, dedicated to the worship of great men.
Page 121 - Nature never hurries: atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work. The lesson one learns in fishing, yachting, hunting or planting is the manners of Nature; patience with the delays of wind and sun, delays of the seasons, bad weather, excess or lack of water — patience with the slowness of our feet, with the parsimony of our strength...
Page 119 - A synopsis of the Recent and Tertiary freshwater Mollusca of the California Province, based upon an ontogenetic classification.
Page 222 - But, of still greater moment, is a letter in which Wallace tells Bates that he begins " to feel dissatisfied with a mere local collection. I should like to take some one family to study thoroughly, principally with a view to the theory of the origin of species.
Page 3 - Sci absent in the front wings; the last abdominal segment bears a more or less horn-like prolongation; maxillary palpi onesegmented; labial palpi two- or three-segmented, the last segment enlarged and bearing a large sensory cup, the first segment not elongate, p.
