Heredity Is Nothing But Stored Environment.

The Secret Of Improved Plant Breeding, Apart From Scientific Knowledge, Is Love. While I Was Conducting Experiments To Make Spineless Cacti, I Often Talked To The Plants. . . . "you Have Nothing To Fear," I Would Tell Them. "you Don't Need Your Defensive Thorns. I Will Protect You." Gradually The Useful Plant Of The Desert Emerged In A Thornless Variety.

Several Of My Young Acquaintances Are In Their Graves Who Gave Promise Of Making Happy And Useful Citizens And There Is No Question Whatever That Cigarettes Alone Were The Cause Of Their Destruction. No Boy Living Would Commence The Use Of Cigarettes If He Knew What A Useless, Soulless, Worthless Thing They Would Make Of Him.

The Lure Of Happiness And The Fear Of Pain . . . Are The Two Forces Which Have Through Untold Millenniums Kept What We Usually Call Life From Destruction By The Ever Encroaching Outside Forces Of Destruction.

If We Cannot Meet Our Everyday Surroundings With Equanimity And Pleasure And Grow Each Day In Some Useful Direction, Then... Life Is On The Road Toward Misfortune, Misery And Destruction.

Science Is Knowledge Arranged And Classified According To Truth, Facts, And The General Laws Of Nature.
