Frases de John Ray

John Ray o Wray fue un naturalista inglés, a veces llamado el padre de la historia natural británica. Hasta 1670, firmó como John Wray y a partir de entonces usó "Ray" tras verificar que era esa la forma que su familia había utilizado antes que él.[1]​ Contrariamente a otros naturalistas de su época, no era médico. Por tanto no se interesaba por las plantas por razones farmacológicas sino por motivos más científicos. Ray es considerado como el fundador de la botánica moderna.

Hijo de un pobre herrero, tuvo la oportunidad de estudiar en Cambridge. Como allí no se realizaban cursos sobre botánica, estudió por su cuenta esta disciplina. Wikipedia

As full as a toad is of poison.
As full as a jade, quoth the bride.

To go out like a candle in a snuff.
As good as George of Green.
To go like a cat upon a hot bake-stone.”

The Wisdom of God Manifested in the Works of the Creation http://books.google.com/books?id=rRI5AAAAcAAJ&pg=PA309 (1691). p. 309

“The use of plants is all our life long of that universal importance and concern that we can neither live nor subsist with any decency and convenience, or be said, indeed, to live at all without them. Whatsoever food is necessary to sustain us, whatsoever conteibutes to delight and refresh us, is supplied and brought forth out of that plentiful and abundant store. And ah! how much more innocent, sweet, and healthful is a table covered with those than with all the reeking flesh of butchered and slaughtered animals. Certainly man by nature was never made to be a carnivorous animal, nor is he armed at all for prey and rapine, with jagged and pointed teeth and crooked claws sharpened to rend and tear, but with gentle hands to gather fruit and vegetables, and with teeth to chew and eat them.”
