Meagre Quotes

People with a meagre soul always try to make others feel small too Picture Quote #1

I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind Picture Quote #1

In physical science a first essential step in the direction of learning any subject is to find principles of numerical reckoning and practicable methods for measuring some quality connected with it. I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the stage of science, whatever the matter may be Picture Quote #1

How meagre one’s life becomes when it is reduced to its basic facts. And the last, most complete reduction is on one’s tombstone: a name, two dates Picture Quote #1

One composition is meagre, though it has many figures; another is rich, though it has few Picture Quote #1

No one can mock your meagre achievements or inability to accomplish the simplest of tasks, if they remain figments of your imagination. You can revel, again and again, in the glory of a fairy tale doomed never to appear in reality Picture Quote #1

When someone came to ask us for help, it was sacred. We did not even think twice. We helped them, even if we had only meagre means; we offered them arms, a little bit of money, and in occasion, men Picture Quote #1

That, of course, they are many in number, or that, after all, they are, other than the little shriveled, meagre, hopping, though loud and troublesome, insects of the hour Picture Quote #1

Often I think writing is a sheer paring away of oneself leaving always something thinner, barer, more meagre Picture Quote #1

Nobody ever forgets their first night in the bush. It’s among the precious, meagre handful of life firsts that remain indelible Picture Quote #1

We must not forget that all great revolutions and reformations would look mean and meagre if examined in detail as they occurred at the time Picture Quote #1
