Asa Gray quotes
" But it was soon ascertained that this quaternary matter of the animal body was chemically the same in the plant, was elaborated there, and only appropriated by the animal. "

Asa Gray
" I accept extinction as best explaining disjoined species. I see that the same cause must have reduced many species of great range to small, and that it may have reduced large genera to so small, and of families. "

Asa Gray
" I am sufficiently convinced already that the members of a profession know their own calling better than anyone else can know it. "

Asa Gray
" I know some people who never have any difficulties to speak of. The moment I understood your premisses, I felt sure you had a real foundation to hold on. "

Asa Gray
" I proceed with the proper subject of this discourse; namely, the further changes in scientific belief, which have occurred within my own recollection, even since the time when I first aspired to authorship, now forty- five years ago. "

Asa Gray
" I take it for granted that you do not wish to hear an echo from the pulpit nor from the theological class-room. "

Asa Gray
" In short, the animal and vegetable lines, diverging widely above, join below in a loop. "

Asa Gray
" Increased powers of investigation- microscopical and chemical- might be expected to discover them. This expectation has not been fulfilled. "

Asa Gray
" Indeed upon much that may have to say, I expect rather the charitable judgment than the full assent of those whose approbation I could most wish to win. "

Asa Gray
" Is it philosophical, is it quite allowable, to assume without evidence from fossil plants that the family or any of the genera was once larger and wide spread? and occupied a continuous area? "

Asa Gray
" It remains to consider what attitude thoughtful men and Christian believers should take respecting them, and how they stand related to beliefs of another order. "

Asa Gray
" It was always understood that plants and animals, though completely contrasted in their higher representatives, approached each other very closely in their lower and simpler forms. But they were believed not to blend. "

Asa Gray
" It was implicitly supposed that every living thing was distinctively plant or animal; that there were real and profound differences between the two, if only they could be seized. "

Asa Gray
" Many years ago it was taught that plants and animals were composed of different materials: plants, of a chemical substance of three elements,- carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; animals of one of four elements, nitrogen being added to the other three. "

Asa Gray
" Next it was found that it was physiologically and structurally the same in the plant, that it was the living part of the plant, that which manifested the life and did the work in vegetable as well as in animal organisms. "
