Campbell Mill

Famous quotes containing the words campbell and/or mill:

    ‘Tis distance lends enchantment to the view,
    And robes the mountain in its azure hue.
    —Thomas Campbell (1777–1844)

    Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
