Instead of having to be a member of the Royal Society to do science the way you had to be in England in the 17th 18th centuries today pretty much anybody who wants to do it can and the information that they need to do it is there.

Since Hiroshima and the Holocaust science no longer holds its pristine place as the highest moral authority. Instead that role is taken by human rights. It follows that any assault on Jewish life - on Jews or Judaism or the Jewish state - must be cast in the language of human rights.

In the post-enlightenment Europe of the 19th century the highest authority was no longer the Church. Instead it was science. Thus was born racial anti-Semitism based on two disciplines regarded as science in their day - the 'scientific study of race' and the Social Darwinism of Herbert Spencer and Ernst Haeckel.

Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars conquer the deserts eradicate disease tap the ocean depths and encourage the arts and commerce.

You know why at the end of your life should you assemble thousands of pages of 'Why am I so sad why am I so depressed?' Instead assemble thousands of pages of why you're so content.

And I remember going to the record studio and there was a park across the street and I'd see all the children playing and I would cry because it would make me sad that I would have to work instead.

My friendships and relationships in the conservative world are not predicated on political correctness and enforced conformity of thought. They are based instead on mutual respect honesty and understanding - concepts many modern liberals should consider revisiting.

We don't do drugs drink or use profanity. Instead we instill morals and values in my boys by raising them with a love of God and a love and respect for themselves and all people. I believe they will have a chance.

Instead in the absence of respect for human rights science and its offspring technology have been used in this century as brutal instruments for oppression.

I need privacy. I would think that because what I do makes a lot of people happy that I might deserve a little bit of respect in return. Instead the papers try to drag me off my pedestal.

Even at school I studied ethics instead of religion.

I don't know really. I've always been interested in the small picture instead of the big one and I've always been interested in relationship pictures.

I'd think 'In a relationship we should never have his kind of fight.' Then instead of figuring out how to make it work I looked for a way to get out of it. The truth is you shouldn't be married if your that kind of person.

I always believed in God and Christ but I was in rebellion - trying to make my relationship with God fit into my life instead of making my life fit in with him. I was stubborn.

When we consistently suppress and distrust our intuitive knowingness looking instead for authority validation and approval from others we give our personal power away.

Instead of yelling and spanking which don't work anyway I believe in finding creative ways to keep their attention - turning things into a game for instance. And when they do something good positive reinforcement and praise.

Flexible working is not just for women with children. It is necessary at the other end of the scale. If people can move into part-time work instead of retirement then that will be a huge help. If people can fit their work around caring responsibilities for the elderly the disabled then again that's very positive.

Instead of hating I have chosen to forgive and spend all of my positive energy on changing the world.

But look you did not have to be well versed in politics to know that some stupid things were going on. It is the counsel's job to stop them and instead the coverup was created.

Community organizing is all about building grassroots support. It's about identifying the people around you with whom you can create a common passionate cause. And it's about ignoring the conventional wisdom of company politics and instead playing the game by very different rules.

Politics it seems to me for years or all too long has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

Poetry seems to have been eliminated as a literary genre and installed instead as a kind of spiritual aerobic exercise - nobody need read it but anybody can do it.

The decision to write in prose instead of poetry is made more by the readers than by writers. Almost no one is interested in reading narrative in verse.

Instead of trying to come up and pontificate on what literature is you need to talk with children to teachers and make sure they get poetry in the curriculum early.
