"In Connecticut, my understanding, although I haven't seen the actual litigation, is that they want to measure every other year and not provide annual assessment as is required in the statute."

"Skin is made in large measure of a protein called collagen."

"In the mid-'60s in Berkeley, the theory of measure spaces of economic agents became one of my main interests."

"Measure your mind's height by the shade it casts."

"I think also of my colleagues in elementary particle theory in many lands, and feel that in some measure I am here as a representative of our small, informal, international fraternity."

"Measure what is measurable, and make measurable what is not so."

"By recognizing that the chemical atom is composed of single separable electric quanta, humanity has taken a great step forward in the investigation of the natural world."

"The movement of the emitters of the spectral lines may be deduced on the basis of the Doppler principle."

"The most common and most important result of them is that the nature and size of the effect on corresponding series of different elements are largely an expression of the peculiarity of their atomic structure - or, at least, of the structure of the surface."

"We can in fact first place the beam of rays of moving positive atomic ions in a plane perpendicular to the axis in which we see the spectral lines emitted by them."

"Thus at the beginning of 1906 it seemed to be established that the emitters of the spectral series of chemical elements are their positive atomic ions."

"A beam of luminous hydrogen canal rays has, owing to its velocity, exactly the same direction as that of the electric field in which it may be made to move."

"The question of the composition of perceptible objects is one which already occupied the mind of the ancient Greeks."

"If the experimental physicist has already done a great deal of work in this field, nevertheless the theoretical physicist has still hardly begun to evaluate the experimental material which may lead him to conclusions about the structure of the atom."

"The emitters of the spectral series are without exception single atoms, not compounds of atoms."

"We have learnt through experience that when an electrical ray strikes the surface of an atom, an electron, and in some circumstances a second and even a third electron, can be detached."
