It seems quite obvious that all the really difficult tasks of human beings arise from the fact that man is not one, but many.

The problem is rather to find out what is actually happening, and this is especially difficult for the reason that `` we are busily being defended from a knowledge of the present, sometimes by the very agencies -- our educational system, our mass media, our statesmen -- on which we have had to rely most heavily for understanding of ourselves ''.

But however we come, finally, to explain and account for the present, the truth we are trying to expose, right now, is that the makers of constitutions and the designers of institutions find it difficult if not impossible to anticipate the behavior of the host of all their enterprises.

It is not difficult to anticipate circumstances in which negative tensions will cumulate ; ;

In the wide range of experiences common to our earth-bound race none is more difficult to manage, more troublesome, and more enduring in its effects than the control of love and hate.

Accordingly we may speak of the Platonism peculiar to Shelley's poems or the type of Stoicism present in Henley's `` Invictus '', and we may find that describing such Platonism or such Stoicism and contrasting each with other expressions of the same attitude or mode of thought is a difficult and challenging enterprise.

It is difficult to say what Thompson expected would come of their relationship, which had begun so soon after his emotions had been stirred by Maggie Brien, but when Katie wrote on April 11, 1900, to tell him that she was to be married to the Rev. Godfrey Burr, the vicar of Rushall in Staffordshire, the news evidently helped to deepen his discouragement over the failure of his hopes for a new volume of verse.

Obviously, such a Northern tourist's purpose is somewhat akin to a child's experience with Disneyland: he wants to see a world of make-believe.

I think it is essential, however, to pinpoint here the difference between the two concepts of sovereignty that went to war in 1861 -- if only to see better how imperative is our need today to clarify completely our far worse confusion on this subject.

So great a man could not but understand, too, that the thing that moves men to sacrifice their lives is not the error of their thought, which their opponents see and attack, but the truth which the latter do not see -- any more than they see the error which mars the truth they themselves defend.

What I am here to do is to report on the gyrations of the struggle -- a struggle that amounts to self-redefinition -- to see if we can predict its future course.

One way to determine whether we have so dangerous a technology would be to check the strength of our society's organs to see if their functioning is as healthy as before.

Hence the prime issue, as I see it, is whether a democratic or free society can master technology for the benefit of mankind, or whether technology will rule and develop its own society compatible with its own needs as a force of nature.

Actually, you could wish for some passion, now and then, but when you look around the world and see the little volcanos of current history which partisan social passions have wrought, you are glad that in these pamphlets there is at least some civilized calm.

One who invites such trials of character is either foolhardy, overconfident or too simple and childlike in faith in mankind to see the danger.

But I can see from this latest trick of memory how much more arbitrary and influential it is than the will.

Moreover, if the critic instructs his audience in what to see in a work, he is contributing to this pseudo-thinking ; ;

There is every reason to recognize that in the very last years of his life, as we shall see, Thompson did take the drug in carefully rationed doses to ease the pains of his illness, but the exact date at which this began has never been determined.

Members of the family are usually perennial herbs with sword-shaped unifacial leaves ; the inflorescence is a spike or panicle of solitary flowers, or forms a monochasial cyme or rhipidium ( meaning that the successive stems of the flowers follow a zig-zag path in the same plane ); and the flower has only three stamens, each opposite to an outer tepal.

The stamens are usually found around the style, either aggregated densely or fused into a tube, probably an adaptation in association with the plunger ( brush ; or secondary ) pollination that is common among the families of the order, wherein pollen is collected and stored on the length of the pistil.

The androecium contains of 5 stamens, but there is often variation in the functionality of the stamens even within a single inflorescence.

Pollination occurs by entomogamy, nectar is produced at the base of the stamens and stored on the sepals.

The androecium is composed of 3 to 8 stamens that are normally free or united at the base.

The flower is white to purple, with a five-lobed corolla and yellow stamens.

Flowers have numerous fluffy stamens which may be white, cream, yellow, pink or red ; in bud, the stamens are enclosed in a cap known as an operculum which is composed of the fused sepals or petals or both.

As the stamens expand, the operculum is forced off, splitting away from the cup-like base of the flower ; this is one of the features that unites the genus.

The floral tube, formed from the basal part of the sepals, petals and stamens can become fleshy at maturity and is united with the ovary to form the fruit.

A hypanthium is a floral structure consisting of the bases of the sepals, petals, and stamens fused together.

Each flower has four petals set in a perpendicular pattern, as well as four sepals, six stamens, and a superior ovary that is two-celled and contains a single stigma and style.

Melaleuca is closely related to the genus Callistemon ; the main difference between the two is that the stamens are generally free in Callistemon but grouped into bundles in Melaleuca.

Though some true crocus bloom with the fall ( autumnal ) rains, after summer's heat and drought, the name autumn crocus is often used as a common name for Colchicum, which is in the lily family ( Liliaceae ), and which has six stamens ; it is also known as meadow saffron, though unlike true saffron, the plant is toxic.

The tall, erect stem is crowned by racemes of large blue, purple, white, yellow or pink zygomorphic flowers with numerous stamens.

In other plants, such as hazel, some flowers have only stamens, others only carpels, but the same plant ( i. e. sporophyte ) has both kinds of flower and so is monoecious. Flowers of European Holly, a dioecious species: male above, female below ( leaves cut to show flowers more clearly )
