The techniques I developed for studying turbulence, like weather, also apply to the stock market.

A cloud is made of billows upon billows upon billows that look like clouds. As you come closer to a cloud you don't get something smooth, but irregularities at a smaller scale.

Smooth shapes are very rare in the wild but extremely important in the ivory tower and the factory.

Order doesn't come by itself.

There is a joke that your hammer will always find nails to hit. I find that perfectly acceptable.

There is a saying that every nice piece of work needs the right person in the right place at the right time.

When the weather changes, nobody believes the laws of physics have changed. Similarly, I don't believe that when the stock market goes into terrible gyrations its rules have changed.

For much of my life there was no place where the things I wanted to investigate were of interest to anyone.

My fate has been that what I undertook was fully understood only after the fact.

Although computer memory is no longer expensive, there's always a finite size buffer somewhere. When a big piece of news arrives, everybody sends a message to everybody else, and the buffer fills.

I don't seek power and do not run around.

Nobody will deny that there is at least some roughness everywhere.

Most were beginning to feel they had learned enough to last for the rest of their lives. They remained mathematicians, but largely went their own way.

Until a few years ago, the topics in my Ph.D. were unfashionable, but they are very popular today.

I was in an industrial laboratory because academia found me unsuitable.

An extraordinary amount of arrogance is present in any claim of having been the first in inventing something.

Think of color, pitch, loudness, heaviness, and hotness. Each is the topic of a branch of physics.

Now that I near 80, I realize with wistful pleasure that on many occasions I was 10, 20, 40, even 50 years ahead of my time.

Unfortunately the world has not been designed for the convenience of mathematicians.

Fractal geometry is not just a chapter of mathematics but one that helps Everyman to see the same world differently.

Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while.

For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather; To cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.

If the weather is good I go into the nearby wood - there I am painting a small beech forest (in the sun) with a few conifers mixed in. This takes until 8 'o clock.

I have some close friends I keep in touch with. I knit. I watch a little too much TV. I ski, if the weather's right for that. If I can find a group of buddies, I go rock climbing.

When a house is being built which is to be made as strong as possible, the building takes place in fine weather and in calm, so that nothing may hinder the structure from acquiring the needed solidity.

All we need is a meteorologist who has once been soaked to the skin without ill effect. No one can write knowingly of the weather who walks bent over on wet days.

The weather here is gorgeous. It's mild and feels like it's in the eighties. The hot dog vendors got confused because of the weather and thought it was spring, so they accidentally changed the hot dog water in their carts.

Computer modelling for weather forecasting, and indeed for climate forecasting, has reached its limits.

Weather forecast for tonight: dark.

It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us; in joy we face the storm and defy it.

There is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

The most intense curiosity and excitement prevailed, and though the weather was uncertain, enormous masses of densely packed people lined the road, shouting and waving hats and handkerchiefs as we flew by them.

Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself.

An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather.

Apartheid does not happen spontaneously, like bad weather conditions.

Never weather-beaten sail more willing bent to shore.

Among famous traitors of history one might mention the weather.

Under this window in stormy weather I marry this man and woman together; Let none but Him who rules the thunder Put this man and woman asunder.

A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves.

The weather was fine, the valleys literally covered with buffaloe, and everything seemed to promise a safe and speedy movement to the first grove of timber on my route, supposed to be about ten days' march.

You can have money piled to the ceiling but the size of your funeral is still going to depend on the weather.

Some things are only capable of being done in space. Examples of that are looking at our Earth from that far away, and understanding the entire processes of storms and weather patterns, and oceans, and coastlines.

I've never been one to bet on the weather.

If you want to see the sunshine, you have to weather the storm.

Farms and ranches contend with much more than quarterly reports and profit margins - the weather can wreak havoc on their quality of life and economic viability. When natural disasters strike, we must do all we can to assist the backbone of our economy.

We should expect the best and the worst of mankind, as from the weather.

I'm watching the Weather Channel more than I've ever watched it. I'm scared to death it's going to rain.

I see some recurring themes: things that feel threaded together, some symbolic references, and songs about some of the big questions, like death. There are a lot of references to weather, too!
