Quotes by Velocity Now, the velocity of wave propagation can be seen, without the aid of any mathematical analysis, to depend on the elasticity of the medium and its density; for we can see that if a medium is highly elastic the disturbance would be propagated at a great speed. Albert A. Michelson densityvelocitywould-be My sailing system set sail, make it fast, no thoughts of energy or velocity, loll back, let boat drift. Albert Einstein velocitysailingenergy If the 1980s were about quality and the 1990s were about reengineering, then the 2000s will be about velocity. Bill Gates velocityqualitychange Arc, amplitude, and curvature sustain a similar relation to each other as time, motion, and velocity, or as volume, mass, and density. Carl Friedrich Gauss densityvelocitymass Whenever the work is itself light, it becomes necessary, in order to economize time, to increase the velocity. Charles Babbage velocitylightorder The soundest argument will produce no more conviction in an empty head than the most superficial declamation; as a feather and a guinea fall with equal velocity in a vacuum. Charles Caleb Colton velocityvacuumsfall Here I am Rock You Like a Hurricane. Dave Eggers velocityrockshere-i-am Morality—like velocity—is relative. The determination of it depends on what the objects around you are doing. All one can do is measure one's position in relation to them; never can one measure one's velocity or morality in terms of absolutes. David Gerrold velocitymoralitydetermination He had extracted himself from the Cambridge one-way system by the usual method, which involved going round and round it faster and faster until he achieved a sort of escape velocity and flew off at a tangent in a random direction, which he was now trying to identify and correct for. Douglas Adams velocityusualtrying The great spirals, with their enormous radial velocities and insensible proper motions, apparently lie outside our Solar system. Edwin Powell Hubble astronomyvelocitylying We are always getting away from the present moment. Our mental existence, which are immaterial and have no dimensions, are passing along the Time-Dimension with a uniform velocity from the cradle to the grave. H. G. Wells velocityuniformstime The problem of defining exactly what is meant by the signal velocity, which cropped up as long ago as 1907, has not been solved. Hans Christian von Baeyer velocitylong-agodefining I came to realize in my late 20s that my velocity is not going to grow so I had to learn to utilize what I had. Jamie Moyer velocitylaterealizing Maybe in the minor leagues. With my velocity, they would pick it up and say, 'Hey, you dropped something.' Jay Feaster velocityheyleague Market leadership can translate directly to higher revenue, higher profitability, greater capital velocity and correspondingly stronger returns on invested capital. Jeff Bezos velocitystrongerreturn How are you managing the velocity of change? Jim Blasingame velocity I use high velocity to keep hitters off balance. Justin Verlander velocitybalanceuse The velocity and volume on the Web are so great that nothing is forgotten and nothing is remembered. Leon Wieseltier velocityvolumeforgotten Nonviolence, when it becomes active, travels with extraordinary velocity, and then it becomes a miracle. Mahatma Gandhi velocityactivemiracle Madness is not what it seems. Time stops. All my life I've been obsessed with time, its motion and velocity, the way it works you over, the way it rushes you onward, a pebble turning in a brook. I've always been obsessed with where I'd go, and what I'd do, and how I would live. I've always harbored a desperate hope that I would make something of myself. Not then. Time stopped seeming so much like the thing that would transform me into something worthwhile and began to be inseparable from death. I spent my time merely waiting.
