Famous quotes containing the word formula:

    Every formula which expresses a law of nature is a hymn of praise to God.
    Maria Mitchell (1818–1889)

    I feel like a white granular mass of amorphous crystals—my formula appears to be isomeric with Spasmotoxin. My aurochloride precipitates into beautiful prismatic needles. My Platinochloride develops octohedron crystals,—with a fine blue florescence. My physiological action is not indifferent. One millionth of a grain injected under the skin of a frog produced instantaneous death accompanied by an orange blossom odor.
    Lafcadio Hearn (1850–1904)

    I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure—which is: Try to please everybody.
    Herbert B. Swope (1882–1958)
