However, one factor that has remained constant in the human character through this development is conscience.

- 16973: Experiences of God
- ... I for one need somebody to put some confidence in to protect me. Another thing that I have learned about nature, besides it looking good, it also sounds good.

When I started to ride pedal bikes instead, the one thing that I would love was to go to our trails on Colerain Ave. and while we were building or something, listen to the birds, wind, just all of the stuff that wasn't apparent to me.

In Mary Astell's From A Serious Proposal to the Ladies is a plea for intellectual equality among the sexes. The author was tired of the oppressive nature of man, which kept her and her sisters from developing their minds.
