Fixed Dimensionless Number

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or number:

    ...a fixed aim furnishes us with a fixed measure, by which we can decide whether such or such an action proposed is worth trying for or not, and as aims must vary with the individual, the decisions of any two people as to the desirableness of an action may not be the same.
    Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)

    There are crimes which become innocent and even glorious through their splendor, number and excess.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
