Formula Wax

Famous quotes containing the words formula and/or wax:

“Every formula which expresses a law of nature is a hymn of praise to God.”

“We too had many pretty toys when young;
A law indifferent to blame or praise,
To bribe or threat; habits that made old wrong
Melt down, as it were wax in the sun’s rays;
Public opinion ripening for so long
We thought it would outlive all future days.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
