The emitters of the spectral series are without exception single atoms, not compounds of atoms.

Along a series of lines running from longer to shorter wavelengths the effect of the electric field becomes greater as the serial numbers increase - that is, as the wavelength decreases.

By recognizing that the chemical atom is composed of single separable electric quanta, humanity has taken a great step forward in the investigation of the natural world.

By allowing the positive ions to pass through an electric field and thus giving them a certain velocity, it is possible to distinguish them from the neutral, stationary atoms.

The question of the composition of perceptible objects is one which already occupied the mind of the ancient Greeks.

A beam of luminous hydrogen canal rays has, owing to its velocity, exactly the same direction as that of the electric field in which it may be made to move.

The removal of an electron from the surface of an atom - that is, the ionization of the atom - means a fundamental structural change in its surface layer.

We have learnt through experience that when an electrical ray strikes the surface of an atom, an electron, and in some circumstances a second and even a third electron, can be detached.

The movement of the emitters of the spectral lines may be deduced on the basis of the Doppler principle.

The discovery of various phenomena has led to a recognition of the fact that the chemical atom is an individual which again is itself made up of several units into a selfcontained whole.

It is more likely that more than a century will pass before we know the structure of the chemical atoms as thoroughly as we do our solar system.

This world does not exist to you when you are missing.

The world turns because Man is inspired to better himself

We don't need to increase our goods nearly as much as we need to scale down our wants. Not wanting something is as good as possessing it.

I have in sincerity pledged myself to your service, as so many of you are pledged to mine. Throughout all my life and with all my heart I shall strive to be worthy of your trust.

If the Kingdom of God is in you, you should leave a little bit of heaven wherever you go.

The longer I live, the more I'm convinced the world is just one big high school, with the cool kids always targeting the uncool.

When the bird of the heart begins to sing, too often will reason stop up her ears.

You can only give away what you have ... If you have love, you can give it. If you don't have it, you don't have it to give.

[My poetry is] a way of coming to grips with reality . . . a way of discovery and definition. It is a way of solving for the unknowns.

The best kind of conversation is that which may be called thinking aloud.
