"A heavy charge may be brought against Friar John himself, in so far that he did not oppose, though we have no reason to believe that he instigated, the severe measures which were adopted in this reign against the Jews. ...Occasionally a prelate would take part against them, urged, by religious motives, to act against those who, in their unbelief, crucified the Son of God afresh. Such was the case with Peckham, and even with the more enlightened Stephen Langton. But the prelates, who were statesmen and lawyers, were generally on the side of Government, whose policy it was to extend protection to that great class, which formed a considerable part of the monied interest of the country."

"The apostle Paul … was conscious of the new in his apprehension of the gospel over against the primitive Jewish-Christian Church, and based the right of his apostolic preaching not upon human tradition, but upon the revelation of the Spirit of Christ in his heart. ... The “Christ according to the Spirit,” as Paul preached him, was certainly not identical with the “Christ according to the flesh,” as he lived in the recollection of the Primitive Church. For Paul had stripped off the Jewish in this individual phenomenon, in order to bring forth and exalt as an object of faith to gentiles and Jews alike the universal religious principle alone. His Christ is the ideal Son of God, i.e. the personification of the religious idea as it lived in the soul of Jesus, of the love of God and men as it had been the impelling principle of his life-work."

"God the Father + commands you. The Son of God + commands you. God the Holy + Ghost commands you. Christ, the Eternal Word of God made flesh, commands + you, Who humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death (Phil 2:8), to save our race from the perdition wrought by your envy; Who founded His Church upon a firm Rock, declaring that the gates of hell should never prevail against her, and that He would remain with her all days, even to the end of the world. (Mt 28:20) The sacred mystery of the Cross commands you, along with the power of all mysteries of Christian Faith. + The exalted Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus, + commands you, who in her lowliness crushed your proud head from the first moment of her Immaculate Conception. The Faith of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul and the other Apostles + commands you. The blood of martyrs and the devout prayers of all holy men and women command + you."

"He considers Jesus as a master alongside others. The only difference from other men is that Jesus is "awake" and fully free, while others are not. Jesus is not recognized as the Son of God, but simply as the one who teaches us that all people are children of God."

"Verbi vere substantivi, Caro cum sit in declivi Temporis angustiâ, In æternis verbum annis Permanere, nos Johannis Docet theologia."

"Dum Magistri super pectus Fontem haurit intellectûs Et doctrinæ flumina, Fiunt, ipso situ loci, Verbo fides, auris voci, Mens Deo contermina. Unde mentis per excessus, Carnis, sensûs super gressus Errorumque nubila, Contra veri solis lumen Visum cordis et acumen Figit velut aquila."

"Peace and health are the foundation for the well-being of humanity and the planet."

"ou don’t need to have a special brain or be a certain kind of person to take on math"

"I find it very rewarding,” said Eubanks-Turner. “Most teachers join the program because they love learning mathematics. Even teachers who have been in the classroom 20 or 30 years learn something they never knew or see an aspect of math in a new way."

": I knew I wanted to be a mathematician later when I was in college.2I originally majored in computer science, but I really disliked computer programming. I loved the logical thinking involved in creating computer algorithms, which I realized was just mathematical thinking, but I found the actual coding and"

"There’s a thinking that lends well to doing mathematics. Mathematicians have to be precise in their thinking and they have to be good at analyzing definitions and proofs. In fact, even when mathematicians"

"Although I did not realize it, I did many things to build my mathematical abilities."

"Well, Hopf algebras is an area of algebra named after a mathematician whose last name is Hopf [Heinz Hopf], and it is a set with dual algebraic structures and algebraic structure is a set with binary operations such as addition and multiplication, and so this is fundamental mathemat--algebraic structure."

"But Hopf algebras is one in which it plays a dual role, okay? It plays a role as a vector field, and then it plays the role as the operators on a vector field so in mathematics terminology, it plays the role of elements as well as functions on elements. Now the application of Hopf algebras--it's an area of pure mathematics."

"Mathematics is usually thought of in two ways, pure mathematics and applied mathematics. Pure mathematics is the extension of known mathematics because as you are learning more about math or science, it always opens up new questions, and that's how the sciences and the mathematics grow."

"As the result of solving new problems, new questions arise; some of these questions can be solved with the existing knowledge, but some of these questions also push the boundaries of knowledge and become conjectures that may take anywhere from one to 300 years, or even greater, to solve."

"I was awarded a National Physical Science Consortium fellowship to pursue graduate studies in mathematics and earned my M.S. and Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina. After graduate school, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Environmental Protection Agency in the National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina."

"I always had an affinity for mathematics. As a child I was always interested in studying patterns, working on puzzles, and solving logic problems; and I was very intrigued by the various ways in which mathematics showed up in everyday life. While in junior high school"

"I am most proud of being a mentor. Throughout my career, I have spent a great deal of time working with students who need additional supports outside of the classroom. I work with them to master good study habits; set goals and create action plans; manage time, stress, and life circumstances; and prepare for their future careers. It gives me great joy to know that I have mentees who have become successful teachers, doctors, and researchers; but more importantly have gone on to mentor others in need of support."

"Personally, I am most proud of taking a leap of faith, leaving a tenured faculty position, to relocate to the DC-area to be near and help care for my aging parents. It has been the best decision of my life."

"“HMRC and I personally regret any anxiety that customers have suffered, and I will come to each of the points that you have made in terms of how many people have the right code and paid the right amount of tax in the totality of the system.”"

"“The key big building blocks for this include the reconciliation exercise that we are going through at the moment, which was well covered in the media, where we have many more people getting refunds of tax overpaid than we have, demonstrating a commitment to fairness alongside enforcement.”"

"We serve everybody. We don't have a choice about who we serve."

"“I think HMRC is quite disadvantaged because we don’t have a choice about who we serve. We have to serve 30 million taxpayers and that’s what makes us different from private businesses.”"

"“Be glad for what you have, not sad for what you have not.”"

"“We feel deeply, deeply sorry for the distress that we have caused to many customers in bringing personal tax records up to date, and particularly vulnerable customers. I think one of the big groups in each of those years has been pensioners. We have been working through each of these years with ministers and seeking counsel on how we can ameliorate the impact of all of that.”"

"“Our staff are our greatest asset, and we need to be open and honest and really listen to their views on how we can succeed. Staff management is the most challenging task facing the civil service at present.”"

"Before zero was a part of mathematics, we didn’t have a need to quantify nothing."

"Zero aided the evolution of mathematics into a language capable of grappling with tough questions— such as, what is less than zero?"

"By giving ourselves permission to sit and ponder about nothingness and to give it structure, to give it a value—we also give ourselves permission as a society to think about hard things and complex things."

"85% of physicians report that unmet social needs lead to poor health outcomes, But only 20% are confident in their ability to address those needs."

"The needs of patients cannot be met by their doctors alone."

"It doesn’t matter that I’m telling you to eat better because food isn’t within a 50-mile radius of you … [care providers] are not able to help with the issue. They see the problem, they recognize it, but what can the physician do to actually address that problem? They’re not empowered to address it."

"At some point during college, with lots of influence from faculty, I decided to go to graduate school to get a PhD in Mathematics. This probably happened after my first summer research experience, and getting feedback from faculty that I was capable of being a mathematician."

"My thesis was in algebra, specifically non-commutative rings. I’ve never been particularly interested in the applications of mathematics. I very much like the abstractness and the richness of the theory of pure mathematics. To some extent, algebra found me. When I was taking the first three semesters of algebra at Emory I got along well with the professor teaching the courses. I spent a lot of time in office hours and then ended up doing a reading course with him. Really, what happened was that I wanted to work with my Ph.D. advisor and it turned out the kind of math that he did was interesting, too."

"I remember the first time that I got really excited about solving problems, and that happened during a mathematics class. I very much associated solving problems with doing mathematics. It was in sixth grade and my math teacher would do these puzzles. I remember not knowing the answers, and I remember the process of thinking hard to try to figure it out. It taught me that mathematics was more than formulas and plugging and chugging. From very early on I thought of mathematics as problem solving and that is what I enjoyed."

"One thing I want to say about mentorship is that most of the people who I think of as mentors probably don’t know I think of them as mentors. I think people get a little worried about what that title means. All that it means is looking people in the eye, answering their questions, letting them know when they are messing up, and giving them a path to get back on course."

"My thesis is this thing that was initially going to be a grenade launched at my ex-prison, for better or for worse, and instead turned into some kind of positive seed bomb where flowers have sprouted beside the foundations I thought I wanted to crumble."

"My thesis is that thing I got sick of just when I should have been fine-tuning its organization. It’s where I find typos that have already gone to print. I am a writer; don’t ask me about my writing."

"For 7 years I called myself an escaped graduate student. I laughed and made light, but each passing month increased my shame burden. Having kids made it easier to throw my hands up like I was okay with things and not at all failing, but I was never okay. I’m still not okay. After my defense"

"I had to fill out an exit survey. They asked how many years spent on coursework (3), how many years spent on dissertation (10). TEN YEARS?! WHAT KIND OF PERSON SPENDS TEN YEARS ON ONE DOCUMENT AND STILL HAS TO BUILD UP COURAGE TO DISCUSS IT OPENLY?"

"When I entered graduate school, I was a sponge for external pressures. Please tell me the rules I must abide by in order to make no waves! Which jokes should I not find offensive? Oh, am I here because of Affirmative Action?"

"In my second year, my body temporarily lost the ability to properly deal with sugar. I don’t know if this is a thing. My doctor never really figured it out even after she got “really scientific about it.” Whatever it was, I realized stress had sent me to the hospital and I was thoroughly against that on principle, so I gave up stress."

"Finally, I had followed the surprising career of Piersanti Mattarella [brother of the Italian President Mattarella]. His career developed in the shadow of his powerful father Bernardo, who was a minister several times and a great collector of votes and friendships, some of which were compromising, in Castellammare del Golfo, in western Sicily, home to the most ruthless mafia. [...] We must not betray our origins if they have brought us privileges and benefits. And Piersanti had unfortunately forgotten that he was the eldest son of Bernardo and his vows."

"There are those who reproach q:it:Massimo Fini for squandering his enormous talent, as if talent could be used for anything other than squandering it. He did so in the only way permitted to a true journalist: through the right reading, through writing, through the integrity of his ideas. But above all, by relying on the immeasurable ignorance of his colleagues. [...] I would have loved to have been friends with Massimo Fini in the 1970s and breathe in the exhilaration of that joyful and unknown journalism, which is not a job but a gift from the gods, accompanied by the amazement that at the end of the month they even pay you."

"Leonardo Pieraccioni, whom an unexpectedly controversial Carlo Verdone has called a “comedian of nothing.”"

"Here is the latest from the master [Roberto Benigni] who, in terms of box office predictions, has to contend with his pupil, assuming that Vergaio's jester has anything in common, apart from his Tuscan origins, with the big kid Pieraccioni."

"(About the film Life Is Beautiful}} Instead of relying on a lazy rehash of himself, Benigni has decided to perform like an acrobat, oops, on the reckless tightrope of the comic-tragic."

"After completing the my undergraduate studies at Xavier University of Louisiana, I went to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) to earn my doctorate. In 2008, I was one of the first two African-American women to earn a doctoral degree in Mathematics from UNL."

"My current research focuses on oscillation criteria for certain linear and nonlinear second order dynamic equations. While I am also interested in applications of time scales to biology, economics, and statistics, I have a keen interest in increasing the number women, especially those underrepresented, in STEM and improving the undergraduate preparation of mathematics majors."
