Study Quotes

For everything is history: What was said yesterday is history, what was said a minute ago is history.

Claude Levi-Strauss
-
But this same process of the old teaching the young can also cause errors and false conclusions to accumulate with the passage of time.

I fear that many of us rush about from day to day taking for granted the Holy Scriptures. We scramble to honor appointments with physicians, lawyers, and businessmen. Yet we think nothing of postponing interviews with Deity postponing scripture study. Little wonder we develop anemic souls and lose our direction in living. How much better it would be if we planned and held sacred fifteen or twenty minutes a day for reading the scriptures. Such interviews with Deity would help us recognize his voice and enable us to receive guidance in all of our affairs.

There are some with whom we may study in common, but we shall find them unable to go along with us to principles.

David Jeremiah

The aim of linguistics is to go beyond the study of individual languages to determine what the universal properties of language are, and to establish a ‘universal grammar’ that would account for the range of linguistic variation that is humanly possible.
