Famous quotes containing the words strongest and/or storms:
“Experimental work provides the strongest evidence for scientific realism. This is not because we test hypotheses about entities. It is because entities that in principle cannot be ‘observed’ are manipulated to produce a new phenomena
[sic] and to investigate other aspects of nature.”
—Ian Hacking (b. 1936)
“It’s the set of the soul that decides the goal,
And not the storms or the strife.”
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850–1919)
