John Dalton
John Dalton FRSwas an English chemist, physicist, and meteorologist. He is best known for his pioneering work in the development of modern atomic theory; and his research into colour blindness, sometimes referred to as Daltonism, in his honour...
agree common hard hope people together understand work worked
If you can't agree on a common vision, how can you work together as partners? I hope the people of Waterville understand that there are a lot of very civic-minded people who worked really hard to try to make this happen.

He's an agent of change. Whenever you are like that, there will be people who disagree with you.

As you know, it's cost us thousands of dollars. It's $150,000 just to file an application.
beginning craft difficult form leap learning short stories
Like many beginning writers, I had to make the difficult leap from short stories to learning the craft and form of a novel.

I think (banks) are doing better today than they were yesterday, and clearly they need to be doing better tomorrow.
breadth course discovered gradually hundred maturity novel require seemed struggling three threw vision wrote
I wrote some three hundred pages, threw most of them out, and started over. The novel seemed to require a maturity and breadth of vision I didn't yet have. What I discovered was that this maturity and vision accrues gradually over the course of many days, months, years of struggling to be a better writer.
atoms division matter
Matter, though divisible in an extreme degree, is nevertheless not infinitely divisible. That is, there must be some point beyond which we cannot go in the division of matter. ... I have chosen the word “atom” to signify these ultimate particles.
summer country rain
The cause of rain is now, I consider, no longer an object of doubt. If two masses of air of unequal temperatures, by the ordinary currents of the winds, are intermixed, when saturated with vapour, a precipitation ensues. If the masses are under saturation, then less precipitation takes place, or none at all, according to the degree. Also, the warmer the air, the greater is the quantity of vapour precipitated in like circumstances. ... Hence the reason why rains are heavier in summer than in winter, and in warm countries than in cold.
wise loyalty fall
Reconsidering Happiness captures all the contradictory impulses of falling in and out of love-the lust and wanderlust, the contentment and restlessness, the secret loyalties, the hard compromises. Sherrie Flick has written a wise and elegant novel.
wise rain law
We should scarcely be excused in concluding this essay without calling the reader's attention to the beneficent and wise laws established by the author of nature to provide for the various exigencies of the sublunary creation, and to make the several parts dependent upon each other, so as to form one well-regulated system or whole.
clouds simplicity might
Berzelius' symbols are horrifying. A young student in chemistry might as soon learn Hebrew as make himself acquainted with them... They appear to me equally to perplex the adepts in science, to discourage the learner, as well as to cloud the beauty and simplicity of the atomic theory.
