Specific Heat

Famous quotes containing the words specific and/or heat:

    No more distressing moment can ever face a British government than that which requires it to come to a hard, fast and specific decision.
    Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)

    Nowadays men cannot love seven night but they must have all their desires: that love may not endure by reason; for where they be soon accorded and hasty, heat soon it cooleth. Right so fareth love nowadays, soon hot soon cold: this is no stability. But the old love was not so.
    Thomas Malory (c. 1430–1471)
