Common Ion Effect

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or effect:

    For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
    —Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in 1 Timothy, 6:7.

    The words also appear in the Book of Common Prayer, “Burial of the Dead.”

    Worldly faces never look so worldly as at a funeral. They have the same effect of grating incongruity as the sound of a coarse voice breaking the solemn silence of night.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
