“What is it possible to do well, in physics particularly, if things are not reduced to degrees and measures?”

If you have seen with your own eyes a mountain move forward in a plain; that is, a huge rock of this mountain’ breaking off and covering entire fields; a whole castle sunken into the earth.

I continue to form a column. If the column contains about twenty of these couples of metal, it will be capable of giving to the fingers several small shocks.

I am still of the same opinion because the impossibility of the formation of mountains by the sea is demonstrated to me.

What is it possible to do well, in physics particularly, if things are not reduced to degrees and measures?

The language of experiment is more authoritative than any reasoning: facts can destroy our ratiocination—not vice versa.

I continue coupling a plate of silver with one of zinc, and always in the same order, and place between each of these couples a moistened disk. I continue to form a column. If the column contains about twenty of these couples of metal, it will be capable of giving to the fingers several small shocks.

Each metal has a certain power, which is different from metal to metal, of setting the electric fluid in motion.

The most marvellous instrument which men have yet invented, the telescope and the steam engine not excepted.

Heroes of physics, Argonauts of our time Who leaped the mountains, who crossed the seas. You have confirmed in uncomfortable places What Newton knew without leaving his study.

You must be ready to give up even the most attractive ideas when experiment shows them to be wrong.

The measure of a man is not how many servants he has but how many men he serves .

Demand is best measured in terms of spending. You know, I think in traditional economics, it’s a mistake to measure it in terms of the quantity of goods.

The cross shows us the seriousness of our sin-but it also shows us the immeasurable love of God.

God’s definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.

Twitter is like hugging. Just because it’s hard to measure the return on investment doesn’t mean there isn’t value there.

We must not see any person as an abstraction. Instead, we must see in every person a universe with its own secrets, with its own treasures, with its own sources of anguish, and with some measure of triumph.

Love consumes us only in the measure of our self-surrender.

You have to have spent the night at sea, sitting in a life raft and looking at your watch, to know that the night is immeasurably longer than the day.
