Famous quotes containing the word length:

    To find the length of an object, we have to perform certain
    physical operations. The concept of length is therefore fixed when the operations by which length is measured are fixed: that is, the concept of length involves as much as and nothing more than the set of operations by which length is determined.
    Percy W. Bridgman (1882–1961)

    The value of life lies not in the length of days but in the use you make of them; he has lived for a long time who has little lived.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    It is the vice of our public speaking that it has not abandonment. Somewhere, not only every orator but every man should let out all the length of all the reins; should find or make a frank and hearty expression of what force and meaning is in him.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
