Famous quotes containing the word terms:

    “It is surely a matter of common observation that a man who knows no one thing intimately has no views worth hearing on things in general. The farmer philosophizes in terms of crops, soils, markets, and implements, the mechanic generalizes his experiences of wood and iron, the seaman reaches similar conclusions by his own special road; and if the scholar keeps pace with these it must be by an equally virile productivity.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “Theology—An effort to explain the unknowable by putting it into terms of the not worth knowing.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
