“The full consequences of a default or even the serious prospect of default by the United States are impossible to predict and awesome to contemplate. Denigration of the full faith and credit of the United States would have substantial effects on the domestic financial markets and on the value of the dollar in exchange markets. The Nation can ill afford to allow such a result. The risks, the cost, the disruptions, and the incalculable damage lead me to but one conclusion: the Senate must pass this legislation before the Congress adjourns.” StatesValuesNationsUnitedResultsUnited StatesImpossibleRiskEffectsSeriousCostConsequenceDollarsFinancialCongressIllCreditConclusionDamageSenateContemplatingLegislationDefaultDisruptionLeading MeFinancial Markets Author:Ronald Reagan
“Far from being a sum of distinct and partial results, victory is the consequence of efforts, some of which are victorious while others appear to be fruitless, which nevertheless all aim at a common goal, all drive at a common result: namely, at a decision, a conclusion which alone can provide victory.” GoalDecisionResultsCommonEffortVictoryConsequenceAimConclusionNeverthelessCommon Goal Book:Precepts and Judgments Source: Precepts and Judgments
“If you're too sloppy, then you never get reproducible results, then you never get reproducible results, and then you never can draw any conclusions; but if you are just a little sloppy, then when you see something startling, you nail it down. So I called it the "Principle of Limited Sloppiness".” IfsLittlesResultsPrinciplesDrawsConclusionNailsSloppySloppiness Author:Max Delbruck

“From the results so far obtained it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the long-range atoms arising from collision of alpha particles with nitrogen are not nitrogen atoms but probably atoms of hydrogen, or atoms of mass 2. If this be the case, we must conclude that the nitrogen atom is disintegrated under the intense forces developed in a close collision with a swift alpha particle, and that the hydrogen atom which is liberated formed a constituent part of the nitrogen nucleus.” IfsLongForceDifficultResultsCasesMassIntenseConclusionRangeAtomsParticlesLiberatedConstituentsCollisionHydrogenAlphasNucleusNitrogenHydrogen Atom Author:Ernest Rutherford
“Imagination should give wings to our thoughts but we always need decisive experimental proof, and when the moment comes to draw conclusions and to interpret the gathered observations, imagination must be checked and documented by the factual results of the experiment.” NeedsGivingShouldMomentsImaginationResultsDrawsWingsProofExperimentsConclusionObservationOur ThoughtsFactual Author:Louis Pasteur
