Reaction Times

Famous quotes containing the words reaction and/or times:

    “Sole and self-commanded works,
    Fears not undermining days,
    Grows by decays,
    And, by the famous might that lurks
    In reaction and recoil,
    Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Weighing the steadfastness and state
    Of some mean things which here below reside,
    Where birds like watchful clocks the noiseless date
    And intercourse of times divide,”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
