Fixed Dimensionless Number

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or number:

    The word “obligation” is very seldom in my thoughts, and consequently very seldom is it uttered by my tongue. For I am satisfied that whoever hath the word “obligation” continually in his mouth hath the love of tyranny steadily fixed in his heart.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    The genius of democracies is seen not only in the great number of new words introduced but even more in the new ideas they express.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
