In the present epoch of struggle between two worlds the two opposing and antagonistic trends penetrating the foundations of nearly all branches of biology are particularly sharply defined.

Close contact between science and the practice of collective farms and State farms creates inexhaustible opportunities for the development of theoretical knowledge, enabling us to learn ever more and more about the nature of living bodies and the soil.

Darwinism as presented by Darwin contradicted idealistic philosophy, and this contradiction grew deeper with the development of its materialist teaching.

In essence, the science of agronomy is inseparable from biology.

Even when Darwin's teaching first made its appearance, it became clear at once that its scientific, materialist core, its teaching concerning the evolution of living nature, was antagonistic to the idealism that reigned in biology.

Darwin himself recorded the fact that he accepted the Malthusian idea.

Darwin himself, in his day, was unable to fight free of the theoretical errors of which he was guilty. It was the classics of Marxism that revealed those errors and pointed them out.

Darwin investigated the numerous facts obtained by naturalists in living nature and analysed them through the prism of practical experience.

The classics of Marxism, while fully appreciating the significance of the Darwinian theory, pointed out the errors of which Darwin was guilty. Darwin's theory, though unquestionably materialist in its main features, is not free from some serious errors.

In the present epoch of struggle between two worlds the two opposing and antagonistic trends penetrating the foundations of nearly all branches of biology are particularly sharply defined.

And the more profoundly the science of biology reveals the laws of the life and development of living bodies, the more effective is the science of agronomy.

Progressively thinking biologists, both in our country and abroad, saw in Darwinism the only right road to the further development of scientific biology.

A theoretical grounding in agronomy must, therefore, include knowledge of biological laws.

A major fault, for example, is the fact that, along with the materialist principle, Darwin introduced into his theory of evolution reactionary Malthusian ideas.

Agricultural practice served Darwin as the material basis for the elaboration of his theory of Evolution, which explained the natural causation of the adaptation we see in the structure of the organic world. That was a great advance in the knowledge of living nature.

And the more profoundly the science of biology reveals the laws of the life and development of living bodies the more effective is the science of agronomy.

The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause.

Philosophy finds it an easy matter to vanquish past and future evils, but the present are commonly too hard for it.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

It is certain, indeed, that the sacred writers were apt to make great allowances for people with empty stomachs, and though I am well aware that the present profane ones think this very reprehensible, I venture to agree with the sacred writers.

It also allows you to look as though you're not particularly from the present, future or past, either.

And for myself, I think for the present He is calling me to another land; but how long shall be my abode, or what employment He has for me there, I know not, for I cannot think He is taking me there to live and lurk only.

I see Canada as a country torn between a very northern, rather extraordinary, mystical spirit which it fears and its desire to present itself to the world as a Scotch banker.

The present government is very insistent that business sponsorship should replace government sponsorship of the arts. Business sponsorship won't happen unless you make tax concessions, which they won't.

The past, the present and the future are really one: they are today.

I think it's bad to talk about one's present work, for it spoils something at the root of the creative act. It discharges the tension.

My future is in my past and my past is my present. I must now make the present my future.

I just wait for something to present itself, and then I consider it.

Creation is all space, all time - all things past, present, and future.

Crazy Horse saw history as integrated in the present, incorporated into daily life.

The present letter is a very long one, simply because I had no leisure to make it shorter.

And lastly, the political revolutions from 1911 to the present time have done more to bring about tremendous social changes everywhere than even the economic and industrial changes and the new schools.

The present reeks of mediocrity and the atom bomb.

My father was a diplomatic officer. As a diplomat's daughter, you have to learn to present yourself very early on.

I am in the present. I cannot know what tomorrow will bring forth. I can know only what the truth is for me today. That is what I am called upon to serve, and I serve it in all lucidity.
