Famous quotes containing the words essential and/or clement:
“The memory loaded with mere bookwork is not the thing wanted—is, in fact, rather worse than useless—in the teacher of scientific subjects. It is absolutely essential that his mind should be full of knowledge and not of mere learning, and that what he knows should have been learned in the laboratory rather than in the library.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Strange beauty, eight-limbed and eight-handed
Whence camest to dazzle our eyes?”
—Arthur Clement Hilton (1851–1877)
