"Wisdom preserved the first-formed father of the world / when he alone had been created. / She delivered him from his transgression / and gave him the power to rule over all things. / But when the wicked man forsook her in his wrath, / he perished because of his fratricidal fury."

"[In Gen 4:17] Cain is the builder of the first city, the ancestor of farmers, musicians, blacksmiths, and perhaps courtesans (cf. v. 22), who provide for the comforts and pleasures of urban life. These advances are attributed by the Yahwist author to the lineage of Cain the cursed: the same condemnation of urban life is found in the Yahwist account of the Tower of Babel (11:1-9)."

"Cain taught his descendants to do everything that God hated: pride, boastful speech, self-adulation, slander, false accusations, and even swearing false oaths."

"Cain, a cursed man, slayer of his brother, multiplied evil; and his seed did likewise, provoking God's wrath with their wickedness. His lineage had no fear of God in their eyes, none of his children ever kept in mind that He had created them, none ever prayed to Him, nor worshipped Him, nor ever invoked His name, nor served Him out of fear. No, his successors thought only of eating, drinking, dancing, playing stringed instruments, singing unworthy songs, and performing impure works without any law, measure, or rule. Thus the perversion of the children of Cain multiplied, so much so that in their boundless indecency they introduced the seed of the donkey into the mare, and thus the mule was begotten, which God had certainly not commanded."

"Seth lived one hundred and five years, and begot Enosh. After he begot Enosh, Seth lived eight hundred and seven years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died."

"And as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah."

"In 1943 fear that the German war machine might use s was abating and among s another fear was taking its place - that of a postwar nuclear arms race with worldwide proliferation of nuclear weapons. Manhattan Project scientists and engineers began to discuss uses of in the postwar world. Niels Bohr, Leo Szilard, James A. Franck and others launched a concerted effort to lay groundwork for international control of the technology. Realizing the devastation nuclear weapons could cause and that they could be made and delivered much more cheaply than conventional weapons of the same power, they tried to persuade policy makers to take into account long range consequences of using atomic bombs and not base their decisions on short range military expediency alone. They met with little success. The scientists' main message, unheeded then and very relevant now, is that worldwide international agreements are needed to provide for inspection and control of nuclear weapons technology. Their memoranda and reports remain as historic documents eloquently testifying to their concern."

"Enrico Fermi lived from 1901 to 1954, a period of great progress in physics and a period in which opportunities for women to study and work in institutions of higher learning increased significantly in Europe and North America. Though there are a few examples of women who made important contributions to physics in the 18th century such as and , it was only in Fermi's time that the number began to increase significantly. It is remarkable that almost immediately after they gained entrance to laboratories and universities, among them appeared women of great creative ability who made lasting contributions to physics. This talk is mainly about some of these whose scientific lives are not as well known as their contributions deserve — Emmy Noether, , , . Additionally, some outstanding women whose work played a role in Enrico Fermi's life in physics are noted - , , , and ."

"We'll keep fighting and regardless that we're bottom of the table we are really sure we can compete with any team, literally any team, and I mean it. But yeah, we find ourselves in this position and we just have to keep fighting to see where we end."

"Enrico Fermi and Leo Szilard worked together at in 1939-40, just after was discovered, to ascertain the feasibility of a nuclear chain reaction, and then on the construction of the first nuclear reactor. Szilard believed a nuclear bomb could be built, and that the Germans may be doing so, but Fermi was sceptical. The Anglo-American project to build a bomb began late in 1941 after brought the to the attention of U. S. physicists. Szilard recalled "On matters scientific or technical there was rarely any disagreement [but] Fermi and I disagreed from the very start of our collaboration about every issue that involved not science but principles of action in the face of the approaching war. If the nation owes us gratitude — and it may not — it does so for having stuck it out together as long as was necessary." As the war with Germany was drawing to a close and the successful construction of the atomic bombs was well underway, these two men took opposing positions regarding use of the bombs."

"Although she was primarily a particle theorist, her most important work may well be her contribution to our understanding of superconductivity. She was a trailblazer for and, in her retirement, led the effort to chronicle the contributions of women to physics in the 20th century."

"...in a better sanitary condition than any in the North Island."

"I think women are quite as well able to legislate as men..."

"We shall never conquer this greatest of national perils simply by spreading pious fluff over the landscape. Cannot we simply take our courage in our own hands now and face the facts of life as they really are?, because we'd know no one wanted to publicise the problem of soldier VD."

"We are getting on splendidly here. We have five large marquees up now, and have surrounded the only group of decent trees in the place. It is an oasis for the boys, in every way. They throng the place now. We have had some New Zealanders helping us, as a fatigue party, but most of them have returned to New Zealand - all but three. We have a grand party of Australians, who have quite got into the swing of the work. They are capable, and cheerful and helpful. The cooking has been the trouble. I have had to do that myself for several weeks, and the weather has been distinctly hot. I have stood over huge field boilers making gallons and gallons of blanc mange; all the boys are very keen on that. They simply devour anything that is made."

"Heaven knows they need our help badly enough, poor lads! I don't think there is anything too good for these men : some of them are the finest men on earth. This, at least, I know : that though I never dreamed six months ago I was coming half-way round the world to be a canteen cook in this place of all others in the summer-time, no work could possibly be more important at the present time, for it does most certainly help to keep well men well, and help to buck up those who are seedy. As for the heat, it's no worse than lots of other places, and I don't feel it nearly so much as many other folk."

"The purpose of this club is to provide members of the NZEF with the necessary articles for the medical prevention of venereal disease. It has been established with the approval of the New Zealand military authorities in England, and the beginning made at Hornchurch, by their special request."

"By means of prophylaxis and the medical control of women, venereal disease has been practically wiped out at Port Said and elsewhere among Anzac troops. Until these remedies were applied, venereal disease prevailed to an alarming extent."

"If it were possible for me to run a properly conducted licensed house for the troops here, I would do it, for the sake of protecting the New Zealand nation against further invasion by venereal disease. It is not to do that at present, and therefore we have to rely merely on prophylactics. We shall all do our very utmost to get the New Zealand soldiers to use these whenever they are exposed to infection."

"You cannot dictate to any man what shall be his morality or his own religion. He must make his own choice. Your attempts to impose total sexual abstinence on him he regards as a meddlesome and impertinent interference with the expression of a natural instinct."

"I would like to warn honourable members, however, that women are never satisfied unless they have their own way. It happens in this case that the woman’s way is the right way."

"Well, at the time that I am telling you about, in those days the lord of Vlachia and of all Hellas, of Arta and Yannina and of all the Despotate, was a man named Kyr Ioannes, Vatatses was his surname [sic. And when he heard and learned and was informed that the Franks had seized the rule of the City, and had crowned an emperor, had taken the castles and had distributed the towns of all Romania; quickly, in haste he sent word into Cumania; ten thousand came, all choice Cumans with choice Turkomans, all on horse. They had good weapons, they carried jerids; some held lances and others, clubs. He also mustered the troops of all his dominion, he amassed large and courageous armies, and he launched a vigorous attack to open war on the Franks; but not to fight in the field, face to face, but with cunning, as is the custom of the Turks. Now, when the one season passed, the other returned; with cunning, he sent out his spies so that he might be informed at all times of what the Franks were doing. And when he learned of the whereabouts of Boniface, king of Salonika, thus they called him, he marched by night until he reached there. He hid his troops in ambush in suitable places; and as soon as it was dawn and day was breaking, he directed two hundred of his light horse to rush in and pillage around his castle; they collected booty, took it and fled. Seeing this, the Lombards who were with the king quickly took up their arms and sprang into their saddles; the king, himself, went out together with them, like men inexperienced in the warfare of the Romans. Around fifty men rode back and forth; and those who had pillaged fled with the booty in order to bring them into the ambuscades. Thereupon, those who were lying in hiding leaped out of ambush on all sides and began to shoot arrows at the Lombards; the Cumans, who had pretended to be fleeing, rode around behind them and shot arrows at the chargers. And when the Lombards and Boniface, their lord, the king of Salonika, saw that they had encircled them and were shooting arrows at them, gathered themselves all together, to live and to die. But the Cumans and the Romans did not come close to them; they shot at them with their arrows from afar and in this way they killed them and did them to death. From that time on, as I am telling you, with deceit and guile, as is their way, the Romans fought battles with the Franks, taking and losing them, as is the way of battles and campaigns everywhere, until three years had passed."
