AND

ENOUGH SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE WE WILL LIVE IT WITH JOY AND NEVER GROW HOPELESS NEVER A FEELING WE CANNOT

“We have a difficult job because all of our failures are seen. At the same time, our successes are seen and, for that reason, I hope we are going to be strong enough, and imaginative enough, and take the future with enough spirit of adventure so that we will live it with joy and never grow hopeless. Never get a feeling that we cannot succeed, because I think with the help of all of you, and the help of many other people in our country, we can succeed.”

Roosevelt, Eleanor. "Making Human Rights Come Alive." Speech, Speech to Pi Lambda Theta, Columbia University, New York City, New York, March 30, 1949.

“then those things ran about
with big bumps, jumps and kicks
and with hops and big thumps
and all kinds of bad tricks.

“Then we saw him pick up all the things that were down.
He picked up the cake,
and the rake, and the gown,
and the milk, and the strings,
and the books, and the dish,
and the fan, and the cup,
and the ship, and the fish.
and he put them away.
Then he said, 'That is that.'
and then he was gone

MOON ABOUT FOUR POINT SIX BILLION YEARS AGO AND FOLLOWED BY A SOLIDIFICATION PROCESS WITH THE

“This work shows that a melting process must have occurred on the moon about 4.6 billion years ago, and that this was followed by a solidification process with the whole surface of the moon becoming quite rigid. This was then followed by the many collisions which I have just been discussing. This order of events in the early history of the moon is a conclusion, I think, to which all of us can agree.”

UNDER PRESSURE EXERTED BY THE LIQUID COLUMN AND BY THE SOLID ROCKS THE EARTH LAVA FLOWS HAVE

“Of course, this means that the rocks below an area of this kind must be able to move under the difference in pressure exerted by the liquid column and by the solid rocks. In the case of the earth, lava flows of this kind have occurred, positive anomalies have been produced and these have disappeared owing to the sinking of the overburden.”

YEARS THE SAME LENGTH THERE IS A WINTER EFFECT AND A SUMMER EFFECT A DAY EFFECT AND A NIGHT EFFECT

“In this way, we find that there were more than 365 days in the year some 400 million years ago. In this way, we find that the moon was nearer to the earth, then the earth was rotating more rapidly on its axis and the days were shorter and the years the same length. There is a winter effect and a summer effect, and at the same time, a day and night effect.”
