Smallest Principal Stresses

Famous quotes containing the words smallest, principal and/or stresses:

    The universe is not rough-hewn, but perfect in its details. Nature will bear the closest inspection; she invites us to lay our eye level with the smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain. She has no interstices; every part is full of life.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Light, God’s eldest daughter, is a principal beauty in a building.
    Thomas Fuller (1608–1661)

    Families need families. Parents need to be parented. Grandparents, aunts, and uncles are back in fashion because they are necessary. Stresses on many families are out of proportion to anything two parents can handle.
    T. Berry Brazelton (20th century)
