And since an accurate value of the momentum of a localized particle cannot be defined by measurement it therefore has no place in the theory.” ScienceValuesTheoryDefinedAccurateMechanicParticlesMomentumMeasurementQuantum Mechanics Book:The Feynman Lectures on Physics, vol. 3 for tablets Source: The Feynman Lectures on Physics, vol. 3 for tablets
“Wealth is also defined by family, connection to our ancestry, and our best vision of the future.

“Strictly speaking, the mass, as a psychological fact, can be defined without waiting for individuals to appear in mass formation. In the presence of one individual we can decide whether he is "mass" or not. The mass is all that which sets no value on itself good or ill based on specific grounds, but which feels itself "just like everybody," and nevertheless is not concerned about it; is, in fact, quite happy to feel itself as one with everybody else.” FeelsFactsValuesIndividualWaitingMassConcernedIllPsychologicalDefinedNeverthelessFormation Author:Jose Ortega y Gasset

“A price decline is of no real importance to the bona fide investor unless it is either very substantial say, more than a third from cost or unless it reflects a known deterioration of consequence in the company's position. In a well-defined bear market many sound common stocks sell temporarily at extraordinary low prices. It is possible that the investor may then have a paper loss of fully 50 per cent on some of his holdings, without any convincing indication that the underlying values have been permanently affected.” WellsMayHas BeensRealValuesSoundLossCommonCompanyKnownPositionBearsCostPaperLowsConsequenceThirdsImportanceSellsExtraordinaryDefinedAffectedInvestorsDeclineCentsConvincingIndicationDeterioration Author:Benjamin Graham

“Kids are told there are no differences between boys and girls. They are told there is no such thing ultimately as right and wrong. Values are relative. Truth is relative.
