Maybe he was only doing the best he knew how, like any of us.

Jack knew of course that the tale to be unfolded would involve a girl and probably be dirty, because girls were Charles' only apparent interest.

He spoke no German but he could sing it and the words of the song were the only ones he knew in a foreign language.

In 1945, probably almost every American not only knew who Sam Spade was, but had some kind of emotional feeling about him.

But they, naturally, kept his secret well, and the public at large knew only of a great excitement in musical and court circles.

They caused my love for Jessica to become warmer and at the same time more hopeless, as if my adolescent self knew that only torment would ever bring me the courage to ask to see her again.

Out of this background of hunting and fishing, it was only natural that Roy first painted subjects he knew best: hunters in the field, fishermen in the stream, ducks and geese on the wing -- almost always against a vast backdrop of weather landscape.

Its editors only knew of one example to point to, a public housing development of 278 homes in New Haven described by John Schulz in the March, 1950 issue.

For three years, since the liquor territorial conference, Torrio had, with his elastic patience, and because he knew that retaliation could cause only violent warfare and disaster to business, tolerated O'Banion's impudent double-crossing.

The New Bedford Standard-Times has reported Knowlton as saying, long after the trial, that if he only knew what Borden said during his conversation with Morse, he would have convicted `` somebody ''.

Promoters always hastened to place their choice tickets in the hands of the wealthy speculators, and only the man who knew the man who knew the fellow who had an in with the guy at the box office ever came up with a good seat for a contest of any importance.

He felt his empty pocket and knew that Roberts had retrieved the only weapon at hand.

I knew the only way I could beat you was to play possum, but it was a good try, kid, and I appreciate it.

being intellectually influenced by Newman and the general 19th-century literature of England, I knew only a Protestant-dominated country.

Mr. Robards -- Jenny was the only person she knew of in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood who called him that -- was kind but too easygoing.

`` Left mine many a time, only she never knew it.

I picked him up, and the length of him arched very carefully and gracefully and only a little wildly, and I could feel the coolness of that radiant, fire-colored body, like splendid ice, and I knew that he had eaten only recently because there were two whole and solid little lumps in the forepart of him, like fieldmice swallowed whole might make.

They lay months away from the nearest Earth star by jump drive, and no one knew what they were good for, although it was felt that they would probably be good for something if it could only be discovered -- much like the continent of Antarctica in ancient history.

Marsyas could not do this, as he only knew how to use the flute and could not sing at the same time.

Collins decided to record it in the late 1960s amid an atmosphere of counterculture introspection ; she was part of an encounter group that ended a contentious meeting by singing " Amazing Grace " as it was the only song to which all the members knew the words.

As an adjective military originally applied only to soldiers and soldiering, but it soon broadened to apply to land forces in general and anything to do with their profession.

He had inherited from his mother not only her musical talent but her short and portly build ; he was physically quite unsuited to soldiering.

Reith had been a keen sportsman at school and only learnt to tolerate his apprenticeship through part-time soldiering in the 1st Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers and later the 5th Scottish Rifles.

Many of the requirements seemed designed to frustrate: for example, one way to qualify automatically was by soldiering for at least 20 years, though most rank-and-file Gurkhas serve for only 15.

They involve only simple mathematics that are taught in grammar school arithmetic classes.

Two aspects of this attitude deserve to be mentioned: 1 ) he did not only study science from books, as other academics did in his day, but actually observed and experimented with nature ( the rumours starting by those who did not understand this are probably at the source of Albert's supposed connections with alchemy and witchcraft ), 2 ) he took from Aristotle the view that scientific method had to be appropriate to the objects of the scientific discipline at hand ( in discussions with Roger Bacon, who, like many 20th century academics, thought that all science should be based on mathematics ).

Though respected for their contributions to various academic disciplines ( respectively mathematics, linguistics, and literature ), the three men became known to the general public only by making often-controversial and disputed pronouncements on politics and public policy that would not be regarded as noteworthy if offered by a medical doctor or skilled tradesman.

The law embodies the story of a nation's development through many centuries, and it cannot be dealt with as if it contained only the axioms and corollaries of a book of mathematics.

This discovery was a major paradigm shift in mathematics, as it freed mathematicians from the mistaken belief that Euclid's axioms were the only way to make geometry consistent and non-contradictory.

A convex function | function is convex if and only if its Epigraph ( mathematics ) | epigraph, the region ( in green ) above its graph of a function | graph ( in blue ), is a convex set.

In number theory, a branch of mathematics, two integers a and b are said to be coprime ( also spelled co-prime ) or relatively prime if the only positive integer that evenly divides both of them is 1.

In the essay a blind English mathematician named Saunderson argues that since knowledge derives from the senses, then mathematics is the only form of knowledge that both he and a sighted person can agree about.

In mathematics, a Diophantine equation is an indeterminate polynomial equation that allows the variables to be integers only.

In the 30s and 40s, it was widely accepted that genes were the target of selection, because that was the only way they could be made accessible to mathematics, but now we know that it is really the whole genotype of the individual, not the gene.

In mathematics, an equivalence relation is a relation that, loosely speaking, partitions a set so that every element of the set is a member of one and only one cell of the partition.

Unsurprisingly, Galois ' collected works amount to only some 60 pages, but within them are many important ideas that have had far-reaching consequences for nearly all branches of mathematics.

According to Pickover, the mathematics behind fractals began to take shape in the 17th century when the mathematician and philosopher Gottfried Leibniz pondered recursive self-similarity ( although he made the mistake of thinking that only the straight line was self-similar in this sense ).

In areas of mathematics where one considers groups endowed with additional structure, a homomorphism sometimes means a map which respects not only the group structure ( as above ) but also the extra structure.

which looks the same as in an inertial frame, but now the force F ′ is the resultant of not only F, but also additional terms ( the paragraph following this equation presents the main points without detailed mathematics ):

In logic and related fields such as mathematics and philosophy, if and only if ( shortened iff ) is a biconditional logical connective between statements.

Jürgen Schmidhuber, however, says the " set of mathematical structures " is not even well-defined, and admits only universe representations describable by constructive mathematics, that is, computer programs.

Even though most mathematicians do not accept the constructivist's thesis, that only mathematics done based on constructive methods is sound, constructive methods are increasingly of interest on non-ideological grounds.

To do this, he invented ( independently of Galois ) an extremely important branch of mathematics known as group theory, which is invaluable not only in many areas of mathematics, but for much of physics as well.

In mathematics, a polynomial is an expression of finite length constructed from variables ( also called indeterminates ) and constants, using only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents.

These first four perfect numbers were the only ones known to early Greek mathematics, and the mathematician Nicomachus had noted 8, 128 as early as 100 AD.

Separability is especially important in numerical analysis and constructive mathematics, since many theorems that can be proved for nonseparable spaces have constructive proofs only for separable spaces.

Human language and discourse, communication, philosophy, science, logic, mathematics, poetry, theology, and religion are only some of fields of human study and activity where grasping the nature of signs and symbols and patterns of signification may have a decisive value.
