When You Can Measure What You Are

There Cannot Be A Greater Mistake Than That Of Looking Superciliously Upon Practical Applications Of Science. The Life And Soul Of Science Is Its Practical Application.

Christianity Without The Cross Is Nothing. The Cross Was The Fitting Close Of A Life Of Rejection, Scorn And Defeat. But In No True Sense Have These Things Ceased Or Changed. Jesus Is Still He Whom Man Despiseth, And The Rejected Of Men. The World Has Never Admired Jesus, For Moral Courage Is Yet Needed In Every One Of Its High Places By Him Who Would "confess" Christ. The "offense" Of The Cross, Therefore, Has Led Men In All Ages To Endeavor To Be Rid Of It, And To Deny That It Is The Power Of God In The World.

Can You Measure It? Can You Express It In Figures? Can You Make A Model Of It? If Not, Your Theory Is Apt To Be Based More Upon Imagination Than Upon Knowledge.

There Is Nothing New To Be Discovered In Physics Now. All That Remains Is More And More Precise Measurement.

Scientific Wealth Tends To Accumulate According To The Law Of Compound Interest. Every Addition To Knowledge Of The Properties Of Matter Supplies The Physical Scientist With New Instrumental Means For Discovering And Interpreting Phenomena Of Nature, Which In Their Turn Afford Foundations Of Fresh Generalisations, Bringing Gains Of Permanent Value Into The Great Storehouse Of Natural Philosophy.
