Our universe is not a 'was' or a 'will be' system. It is an 'is' system vibrating within the 'now' measurement of time.
A hundred objective measurements didn't sum the worth of a garden; only the delight of its users did that.
The Great Idea in advertising is far more than the sum of the recognition scores, the ratings and all the other superficial indicators of its success; it is in the realm of myth, to which measurements cannot apply.
Our goals should serve as markers, measurements of the progress we make in pursuit of something greater than ourselves.
Every person exceeds our power of measurement.
What you're willing to sacrifice is the measurement of how you love - at least it is for me.
Balance the federal budget now, not 15 years from now, not 20 years from now, but now. And throw out the entire federal tax system, replace it with a fair tax, a consumption tax, that by all measurements is just that. It's fair.
Although this may seem a paradox, all exact science is dominated by the idea of approximation. When a man tells you that he knows the exact truth about anything, you are safe in infering that he is an inexact man. Every careful measurement in science is always given with the probable error. . . every observer admits that he is likely wrong, and knows about how much wrong he is likely to be.
We attempt to define a person, the most commonplace person we know, but he will not submit to bounds; some unexpected beauty of nature breaks out; we find he is not what we thought, and begin to suspect that every person exceeds our power of measurement.
I don't tell everyone my life history because if everyone knows your inside-leg measurement, how can you surprise them?
Earth Day is the first holy day which transcends all national borders, yet preserves all geographical integrities, spans mountains and oceans and time belts, and yet brings people all over the world into one resonating accord, is devoted to the preservation of the harmony in nature and yet draws upon the triumphs of technology, the measurement of time, and instantaneous communication through space.
Golf is not, on the whole, a game for realists. By its exactitudes of measurements it invites the attention of perfectionists.
No person will deny that the highest degree of attainable accuracy is an object to be desired, and it is generally found that the last advances towards precision require a greater devotion of time, labour, and expense, than those which precede them.
Tolle numerum omnibus rebus et omnia pereunt. Take from all things their number and all shall perish.
Money is the currency of life because it is the external measurement system that all of us have as to how we judge where we are in our own lives.
No effect that requires more than 10 percent accuracy in measurement is worth investigating.
Experimental confirmation of a prediction is merely a measurement. An experiment disproving a prediction is a discovery.
There is more to sex appeal than just measurements
According to my views, aiming at quantitative investigations, that is at establishing relations between measurements of phenomena, should take first place in the experimental practice of physics. By measurement to knowledge [door meten tot weten] I should like to write as a motto above the entrance to every physics laboratory.
Measurements, observations, descriptions can only be considered scientific when they are independently confirmed by other people.
