Page 329 - Tell me what company you keep and I will tell you what you are ' ; and the other one, ' Not with whom you are bred, but with whom you are fed.
Page 266 - Round their golden houses, girdled with the gleaming world : Where they smile in secret, looking over wasted lands, Blight and famine, plague and earthquake, roaring deeps and fiery sands, Clanging fights, and flaming towns, and sinking ships, and praying hands. But they smile, they find a music centred in a doleful song Steaming up, a lamentation and an ancient tale of wrong, Like a tale of little meaning tho...
Page 213 - Thus, there is no necessary pause or sudden change of intensity or change in pitch or even change in character. The later sound shows its influence in the earlier one, and the earlier one keeps its influence far into the later one.
Page 250 - ... data, however slight, is without effect on the function. The loss in the efficiency of a function trained with certain data, as we pass to data more and more unlike the first, makes it fair to infer that there is always a point where the loss is complete, a point beyond which the influence of the training has not extended. The rapidity of this loss, that is, its amount in the case of data very similar to the data on which the function was trained, makes it fair to infer that this point is nearer...
Page 250 - Improvement in any single mental function need not improve the ability in functions commonly called by the same name. It may injure it. Improvement in any single mental function rarely brings about equal improvement in any other function, no matter how similar, for the working of every mental function-group is conditioned by the nature of the data in each particular case.
Page 545 - Now, there were four Europeans — Dr. W. Craig, Dr. George Craig, Mr. Goodwin, and myself — and I can only say that we stepped out boldly. I got across unscathed, and only one of the party was badly burned ; and he, it is said, was spoken to, but like Lot's wife looked behind him — a thing against all rules. I can hardly give you my sensations, but I can say this — that I knew quite well I was walking on red hot stones and could feel the heat, yet I was not burned.
Page 618 - Atlas and Epitome of the Nervous System and its Diseases. By Professor Dr. CHR. JAKOB, of Erlangen. From the second revised German edition. Edited by EDWARD D. FISHER, MD, Professor of Diseases of the Nervous System, University and Bellevue Medical College, New York.
Page 300 - ... those complex groups of co-ordinated acts which are, on their first occurrence, independent of experience; which tend to the well-being of the individual and the preservation of the race; which are due to the co-operation of external and internal stimuli; which are similarly performed by all the members of the same more or less restricted group of animals; but which are subject to variation, and to subsequent modification under the guidance of experience.
Page 305 - it chanced to find the nest, into which it immediately crawled, there remaining until taken out for another experiment two hours later.
Page 166 - The mind is, on the contrary, on its dynamic side a machine for making particular reactions to particular situations. It works in great detail, adapting itself to the special data of which it has had experience. The word attention, for example, can properly mean only the sum total of a lot of particular tendencies to attend to particular sorts of data, and ability to attend can properly mean only the sum total of all the particular abilities and inabilities, each of which may have an efficiency largely...
