Text Quotes
... Capitalism will behave antisocially if it is profitable for it to do so, and that can now mean human devastation on an unimaginable scale. What used to be apocalyptic fantasy is today no more than sober realism (Scale Quotes)
The emancipation of woman will only be possible when woman can take part in production on a large, social scale, and domestic work no longer claims anything but an insignificant amount of her time (Scale Quotes)
In the scale of life there is a gradual decline in physical variability, as the organism has gathered into itself resources for meeting the exigencies of changing external conditions; and that while in the mindless and motionless plant these resources are at a minimum, their maximum is reached in the mind of man, which, at length, rises to a level with the total order and powers of nature, and in its scientific comprehension of nature is a summary, an epitome of the world (Scale Quotes)
Love has no awareness of merit or demerit; it has no scale... Love loves; this is its nature (Scale Quotes)
Evolution on the large scale unfolds, like much of human history, as a succession of dynasties (Scale Quotes)
Of all the joyous motives of school life, the love of knowledge is the only abiding one; the only one which determines the scale, so to speak, upon which the person will hereafter live (Scale Quotes)
I would like to be the first man in the gym business to throw out my scale. If you don’t like what you see in the mirror, what difference does it make what the scale says? (Scale Quotes)
Your remarks upon chemical notation with the variety of systems which have arisen, andc., andc., had almost stirred me up to regret publicly that such hindrances to the progress of science should exist. I cannot help thinking it a most unfortunate thing that men who as experimentalists and philosophers are the most fitted to advance the general cause of science and knowledge should by promulgation of their own theoretical views under the form of nomenclature, notation, or scale, actually retard its progress (Scale Quotes)
The idea of spontaneous generation of life in its present form is therefore highly improbable even to the scale of the billions of years during which prebotic evolution occurred (Scale Quotes)
Walking also enables us to watch a hole unfold in front of us. To walk a course is analogous to driving a long distance rather than flying. While driving, we see the country instead of racing over it. There’s a human scale that flying cannot offer (Scale Quotes)
It would appear... that moral phenomena, when observed on a great scale, are found to resemble physical phenomena; and we thus arrive, in inquiries of this kind, at the fundamental principle, that the greater the number of individuals observed, the more do individual peculiarities, whether physical or moral, become effaced, and leave in a prominent point of view the general facts, by virtue of which society exists and is preserved (Scale Quotes)
Life is life’s greatest gift. Guard the life of another creature as you would your own because it is your own. On life’s scale of values, the smallest is no less precious to the creature who owns it than the largest (Scale Quotes)
Experiments in geology are far more difficult than in physics and chemistry because of the greater size of the objects, commonly outside our laboratories, up to the earth itself, and also because of the fact that the geologic time scale exceeds the human time scale by a million and more times. This difference in time allows only direct observations of the actual geologic processes, the mind having to imagine what could possibly have happened in the past (Scale Quotes)
With crystals we are in a situation similar to an attempt to investigate an optical grating merely from the spectra it produces... But a knowledge of the positions and intensities of the spectra does not suffice for the determination of the structure. The phases with which the diffracted waves vibrate relative to one another enter in an essential way. To determine a crystal structure on the atomic scale, one must know the phase differences between the different interference spots on the photographic plate, and this task may certainly prove to be rather difficult (Scale Quotes)
That special substance according to whose mass and degree of development all the creatures of this world take rank in the scale of creation, is not bone, but brain (Scale Quotes)
... what we are talking about is extended world war... People would move on a massive scale. Hundreds of millions, probably billions of people would have to move (Scale Quotes)
Climate change is a result of the greatest market failure the world has seen... We risk damages on a scale larger than the two world wars of the last century (Scale Quotes)
The greatest danger hanging over our children and grandchildren is initiation of changes that will be irreversible on any time scale that humans can imagine (Scale Quotes)
Carbon dioxide pollution is transforming the chemistry of the ocean, rapidly making the water more acidic. In decades, rising ocean acidity may challenge life on a scale that has not occurred for tens of millions of years. So we confront an urgent choice: to move beyond fossil fuels or to risk turning the ocean into a sea of weeds (Scale Quotes)
Poverty, therefore, was comparative. One measured it by a sliding scale. One was always poor, in terms of those who were richer (Scale Quotes)
It’s the first time in the history of the world that creatives are also distributors. And that’s very profound if you think that up until the recent history, permission was required for us to be able to share work at any sort of scale. We had to get permission from galleries, from ad agencies or photo editors to be able to have our work out there. And now anybody with access to a computer can show their work in 200 countries around the world (Scale Quotes)
Small scale is critical to local life, to the ability of local people to control what happens where they live (Scale Quotes)
Now we see evolutionary trends in a variety of areas ranging from atomic and molecular physics through fluid mechanics, chemistry and biology to large scale systems of relevance in environmental and economic sciences (Scale Quotes)
You have to communicate on a much greater scale. With a camera, you can use the flick of an eye. On stage, a lot of other things are happening that can pull focus or energy. You’re always thinking the same way, but you have to amplify your thoughts with the volume of your speech and the ways you use your whole body to communicate what you’re feeling. It’s a little bit different from film (Scale Quotes)
My mistakes do happen on a grand scale and very public level. They’re humiliating, embarrassing. But if nothing bad happens to you, you’ll just continue to act ridiculous (Scale Quotes)
If you step back from it and really think about what the mass media does on a global scale, the most significant thing it does is coordinate behaviour (Scale Quotes)
I’m grasping with how you do something on a large scale with multiple operations and not have quality decrease (Scale Quotes)
Companies that build scale for the benefit of their customers and shareholders more often succeed over time (Scale Quotes)
Large scale collective bargaining... is merely a seductive name for bilateral monopoly, and means either adjudication of conflicts in terms of power, or deadlock and stoppage, usually injuring outside people more than the immediate parties to the dispute (Scale Quotes)
Meditation practice is like piano scales, basketball drills, ballroom dance class. Practice requires discipline; it can be tedious; it is necessary. After you have practiced enough, you become more skilled at the art form itself. You do not practice to become a great scale player or drill champion. You practice to become a musician or athlete. Likewise, one does not practice meditation to become a great meditator. We meditate to wake up and live, to become skilled at the art of living (Scale Quotes)
