Famous quotes containing the words side and/or effect:

    Every thought is public,
    Every nook is wide;
    Thy gossips spread each whisper,
    And the gods from side to side.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Human knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed; and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule.
    Francis Bacon (1560–1626)
