Inspirational Saying About Life
A saying is any concisely written or spoken linguistic expression that is especially memorable because of its meaning or structure.
There are a number of specific types of sayings:
Aphorism – A saying that contains a general, observational truth; "a pithy expression of wisdom or truth".
Adage, proverb, or saw – A widely known or popular aphorism that has gained its credibility by virtue of long use.
Apophthegm – "[A]n edgy, more cynical aphorism; such as, 'Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children.'"
Cliché or bromide – An unoriginal and overused saying.
Platitude – A cliché unsuccessfully presented as though it were truly meaningful, original, or effective.
Epigram – A clever and often poetic written saying that comments on a particular person, idea, or thing.
Epitaph – A saying in honor of a dead person, often engraved on a headstone or plaque.
Epithet – A descriptive word or saying already widely associated with a particular person, idea, or thing.
Idiom – A saying that has only a non-literal interpretation; "an expression whose meaning can't be derived simply by hearing it, such as 'Kick the bucket.'"

What Is Life? The Physical Aspect of the Living Cell is a 1944 science book written for the lay reader by physicist Erwin Schrödinger. The book was based on a course of public lectures delivered by Schrödinger in February 1943, under the auspices of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies at Trinity College, Dublin. The lectures attracted an audience of about 400, who were warned: "that the subject-matter was a difficult one and that the lectures could not be termed popular, even though the physicist’s most dreaded weapon, mathematical deduction, would hardly be utilized." Schrödinger's lecture focused on one important question: "how can the events in space and time which take place within the spatial boundary of a living organism be accounted for by physics and chemistry?"
In the book, Schrödinger introduced the idea of an "aperiodic crystal" that contained genetic information in its configuration of covalent chemical bonds. In the 1950s, this idea stimulated enthusiasm for discovering the genetic molecule. Although the existence of DNA had been known since 1869, its role in reproduction and its helical shape were still unknown at the time of Schrödinger's lecture. In retrospect, Schrödinger's aperiodic crystal can be viewed as a well-reasoned theoretical prediction of what biologists should have been looking for during their search for genetic material. Both, James D. Watson, researchers and independently, Francis Crick, co-discoverers of the structure of DNA, credited Schrödinger's book with presenting an early theoretical description of how the storage of genetic information would work, and each respectively acknowledged the book as a source of inspiration for the researchers.
Word for word quotation (direct quote):
Definition: Using an author’s language word for word (verbatim)
Ways to avoid plagiarism:
· Use quotation marks around the author’s words.
· Use a signal or identifying a phrase that tells who and what you are quoting. · Add an intext (parenthetical) reference at the end of the passage. · Include a citation at the end of your paper (Works Cited). MLA Example:
Rodriguez and Bellanca observe, “In some urban classrooms, children arrive without
any notion of sharing behavior. If they have grown up as street survivors,
without strong early mediation for sharing, they may come to school ready to do battle
to the death” (135). Or
“In some urban classrooms, children arrive without any notion of sharing behavior
. If they have grown up as street survivors, without strong early
mediation for sharing, they may come to school ready to do battle to the death”
(Rodriguez and Bellanca 135).

Corwin, 2007. Paraphrasing:
Definition: Putting an author’s ideas in your own words
Ways to avoid plagiarism:
· Use a signal or identifying phrase that tells who and what you are paraphrasing
· Use the same ideas as in the original text
· Use your own words when phrasing. In most cases, avoid using any of the same
wording that the author used unless you put a key term in quotation marks.
· Add an intext (parenthetical) reference at the end of the paraphrase. · Include a citation at the end of your paper
