# Greatest Generation

The Greatest Generation, also known as the G.I. Generation and the World War II generation, is the demographic cohort following the Lost Generation and preceding the Silent Generation. The generation is generally defined as people born from 1901 to 1927. They were shaped by the Great Depression and were the primary participants in World War II.

## Quotes

* We owe the Greatest Generation a debt which we can never fully repay.
** Tommy Tuberville

# Greek Anthology

The Greek Anthology (Latin: Anthologia Graeca) is a collection of poems, mostly epigrams, that span the Classical and Byzantine periods of Greek literature. Most of the material comes from two manuscripts, the Palatine Anthology of the 10th century and the Planudean Anthology of the 14th century.

## Quotes
### Palatine Anthology

* Τὁ ῥὀδον ἀκμἀζει βαιὀν χρονὁν’ ἢν δἑ παρἐλθυ, ζητῶν εὐρἠσεισ οὐ ῥὀδον, ἀλλἁ βἀτον.
** The rose blooms for a little season, and when that goes by thou shalt find, if thou seekest, no rose, but a briar.
** Anonymous, XI, 53
** Samuel Johnson, The Rambler, no. 71 (20 November 1750):
    Soon fades the rose; once past the fragrant hour, The loiterer finds a bramble for a flow’r.
** Lord Neaves, The Greek Anthology (1874):
    Short is the rose’s bloom; another morn Will show no rose, but, in its stead, a thorn.
** A. H. Bullen, Speculum Amantis (1889), epigraph:
    The season of the rose is brief, make haste to pluck your posies; Another day you’ll chance to find bare thorns where bloomed the roses.
** R. A. Furness, Translations from the Greek Anthology (1931):
    The rose’s bloom is short; and when it goes You’ll seek, and find a thorn and not a rose.

# Great Tribulation

The Great Tribulation (Greek: θλίψις μεγάλη, thlipsis megalē) refers to tumultuous events that are described as "signs of the times", first mentioned by Jesus in the Olivet Discourse. It is also referenced in the Book of Revelation.

## Quotes

* For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
** Jesus, as quoted in the Gospel of Matthew, 24:21- 31
* Has the Governing Body changed its mind about the closeness of the great tribulation? … Not at all … If the great tribulation interrupts our plans, that will be wonderful, absolutely wonderful!
** Guy. H. Pierce, as quoted in "Annual Meeting Report" The Watchtower (2012), w12 8/15 pp. 16-19
* In response one of the elders said to me: “These who are dressed in the white robes, who are they and where did they come from?” So right away I said to him: “My lord, you are the one who knows.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
** Revelation 7: 13-14

# Great chain of being

The great chain of being is a hierarchical structure of all matter and life, thought by pre-modern Christian philosophers to have been decreed by God. The chain begins with God and descends through angels, humans, animals and plants to minerals.
# Great man theory

The great man theory is a 19th-century approach to the study of history according to which history can be largely explained by the impact of great men, or heroes: highly influential and unique individuals who, due to their natural attributes, such as superior intellect, heroic courage, extraordinary leadership abilities or divine inspiration, have a decisive historical effect.

## Quotes

* It is of course possible to take the view that “great men” are mostly the products of circumstance. In the late 1790s the French had just lived through a revolution that left the country bitterly divided and the political class mostly discredited and ineffective. The only thing going well for France was a European war in which a mass of fervently patriotic citizen-soldiers regularly routed their opponents. Generals enjoyed far more prestige than politicians, and the latter came to rely on the former for political support. Under these circumstances, was it not extremely likely that someone like Napoleon Bonaparte would seize control of the nation, even had it been a military leader less brilliant and charismatic than the diminutive Corsican officer? Was it a stroke of extraordinary good luck that Nelson Mandela, a shrewd, widely revered, and generous leader, was at hand to oversee South Africa’s transition out of apartheid in the early 1990s, or was the historical moment just right for such a figure to emerge? “Personality or circumstance?” is a traditional topic for classroom debate, an ultimately unanswerable question that is good for getting students to line up social and political conditions on one side and personal traits on the other, and to think about the connections between them.

## Quotes

* Good governance can neither be decreed as you will find in dictatorships nor legislated in a democratic set up alone. It can only be achieved by a people’s consensus around doing the right thing for the right purpose.
** INTERVIEW: The Legacies I Left For Nigeria — Ex-President. Premium Times Nigeria, 11 October 2019

# Goodman Ace

** Letter to Groucho Marx, published in The Groucho Letters

# Goofy

Goofy is a character appearing in the Walt Disney brand of cartoons.

## Quotes about Goofy

* It is difficult to classify the characteristics of the Goof into columns of the physical and mental, because they interweave, reflect and enhance one another. Therefore, it will probably be best to mention everything all at once. Think of the Goof as a composite of an everlasting optimist, a gullible Good Samaritan, a halfwit and a shiftless, good-natured hick.
** Art Babbitt on Goofy
    From the film Goofy and Wilbur
    Goofy: [shaking his glove as he mistakens it for the frog that swallowed Wilbur] Cough up Wilbur! Cough him up!
    Goofy: [on the top of a bird's nest, after Wilbur got eaten by a stork] I got to cheer up! There'll be lots of grasshoppers in the weeds. [sniffs and blubbers in despair; he then bursts into tears with his face in his hands] But not like Wilbur! [wails] [an egg hatches and Wilbur comes out of it] [happily] Wilbur! Gosh, Wilbur, thought you was a goner! [Wilbur hugs Goofy and kisses him on the muzzle]
    From the film Stand By Me.
    Gordie: Mickey is a mouse, Donald is a duck, Pluto is a dog. What's Goofy...?
    Teddy: He's a dog, he's definitely a dog..
    Chris: He can't be a dog, he wears a hat and drives a car...
    Vern: Yeah, that is weird. What the hell is Goofy?
# Good works

In Christian thought, good works, or simply works, are a person's (exterior) actions or deeds, in contrast to inner qualities such as grace or faith.

## Quotes

* One ought to fast, watch, and labor to the extent that such activities are needed to harness the body’s desires and longings; however, those who presume that they are justified by works pay no attention to the need for self-discipline but see the works themselves as the way to righteousness. They believe that if they do a great number of impressive works all will be well and righteousness will be the result. Sometimes this is pursued with such zeal that they become mentally unstable and their bodies are sapped of all strength. Such disastrous consequences demonstrate that the belief that we are justified and saved by works without faith is extremely foolish.

### Foods

    New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1873. Full text on Google Books.
* As a general definition, it may be stated that a food is a substance which, when introduced into the body, supplies material which renews some structure or maintains some vital process; and it is distinguished from a medicine in that the latter modifies some vital action, but does not supply the material which sustains such action.
** Introd., p. 1
* The same nutritive elements exist in both vegetable and animal foods, and … within certain limits, the two classes of food are interchangeable.
** Ch. XIX, p. 143
* Every … element, whether mineral or organic, which is required for nutrition is found in the vegetable kingdom.

# Edward Spencer Beesly

Edward Spencer Beesly (23 January 1831 – 7 March 1915) was an English historian, professor of history at University College London, and editor of the Positivist Review.

## Quotes

* We are all of us accustomed to exaggerate the successes and magnify the prospects of the cause we favor. It is a habit arising mainly from a desire to convert others to our way of thinking, and since by far the largest part of mankind not only submit to the accomplished fact as soon as it is recognised, but accept it as satifactory, we are tempted to resort to this method of conversion as the most potent and expeditious. In proportion, however, as the prestige created is ill-founded, it is sure to be followed by discouragement and reaction. A cause which has solid elements of strength, is best served in the long run by unexaggerated estimates of its past, and sober forecasts of its future.
** (1874). "The History of Republicanism in France". Fortnightly 16 (94): 471–494.
* In an English court of justice every effort is made to narrow down the discussion to a simple issue of fact. Every irrelevant allegation on either side is jealously excluded by the presiding judge. Usage and public opinion prescribe a course to the jury from which they cannot deviate; though even in England, on political trials, the animus of jurymen leads them sometimes to disregard the evidence. But at Rome, a State trial, though technically relating to a specified act, virtually dealt with the whole life of the accused. Nor was this all. The jury looked on it as their duty to take into consideration other circumstances which we should deem still more foreign to the question. Among these notoriously was the political bearing their verdict would have. A Roman jury never forgot that it was in some sort a committee of the Legislative Assembly.
** Catiline, Clodius, and Tiberius. London: Chapman & Hall. 1878. p. 56.
* The government, worship, and doctrine of the Established Church are the most abiding works left by Elizabeth on the national life of England. Logically it might have been expected that the settlement of doctrine would precede that of government and worship. It is characteristic of a State Church that the inverse order should have been followed. For the Queen the most important question was Church government; for the people, worship.
** Queen Elizabeth. London: Macmillan & Co. 1892. p. 14. (1st edition 1888)

# Edward Taylor

Edward Taylor (c. 1642 – 1729) was a colonial American poet and Puritan minister. His poems, unpublished and all but forgotten for 200 years, were discovered in 1937 by Thomas H. Johnson in several manuscript books at Yale University Library. Johnson published a selection of the poems in The New England Quarterly that year and, says biographer Norman S. Grabo, "established [Taylor] almost at once and without quibble as not only America's finest colonial poet but as one of the most striking writers in the whole range of American literature."

## Quotes
### The Silent Language (1959)

* Culture hides more than it reveals, and strangely enough what it hides, it hides most effectively from its own participants.
* The real job is not to understand foreign culture but to understand our own.
