Chain

Famous quotes containing the word chain:

“It is the future that creates his present.
All is an interminable chain of longing.”

“A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and life is after all a chain.”
—William James (1842–1910)

“The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.”
—C.G. (Carl Gustav)
