Quote of the Day

"When you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers, you know something about it, but when you cannot measure it when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is meager and unsatisfactory."?

- William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin (Thompson, 1889)?

Glen, this is a great quote and reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: "Not a particle of evidence, Pip," said Mr. Jaggers, shaking his head and gathering up his skirts. "Take nothing on its looks; take everything on evidence. There's no better rule." (Great Expectations - Charles Dickens) If only politicians (everywhere) would adhere to these two quotes!
