The elements, if arranged according to their atomic weights, exhibit an apparent periodicity of properties.

I have achieved an inner freedom.

No law of nature, however general, has been established all at once; its recognition has always been preceded by many presentiments.

Pleasures flit by - they are only for yourself; work leaves a mark of long-lasting joy, work is for others.

It is the function of science to discover the existence of a general reign of order in nature and to find the causes governing this order. And this refers in equal measure to the relations of man - social and political - and to the entire universe as a whole.

Elements which are similar as regards their chemical properties have atomic weights which are either of nearly the same value (eg. Pt, Ir, Os) or which increase regularly (eg. K, Ru, Cs).

There is nothing in this world that I fear to say.

Certain characteristic properties of elements can be foretold from their atomic weights.

The magnitude of the atomic weight determines the character of the element, just as the magnitude of the molecule determines the character of a compound body.

Work, look for peace and calm in work: you will find it nowhere else.

We must expect the discovery of many as yet unknown elements-for example, elements analogous to aluminum and silicon- whose atomic weight would be between 65 and 75.

The most all penetrating spirit before which will open the possibility of tilting not tables, but planets, is the spirit of free human inquiry. Believe only in that.

The establishment of a law, moreover, does not take place when the first thought of it takes form, or even when its significance is recognised, but only when it has been confirmed by the results of the experiment.

We could live at the present day without a Plato, but a double number of Newtons is required to discover the secrets of nature, and to bring life into harmony with the laws of nature.

The elements which are the most widely diffused have small atomic weights.

I want you to have this feeling too - it is my moral responsibility to help you achieve this inner freedom.

There exists everywhere a medium in things, determined by equilibrium.

No one nor anything can silence me.

The elements, if arranged according to their atomic weights, exhibit an apparent periodicity of properties.

The nurses were all angels in my eyes.

I'd say I'm a good cook. I have a lot of German recipes that I can make - schnitzel, meatballs and things with cabbage. I love cabbage.

The Loopt mobile app is all about giving you the latest local deals and insider tips.

Dream big!

I know divers, and divers men know me, which love me as I do them: yet if I should pray them, when I meet them in the street openly, they would abhor me; but if I pray them where they be appointed to meet me secretly, they will hear me and accept my request.

I grew up with music in the house. I was told I could sing as soon as I started talking. Everybody in my family sang, always lots of records, blues and jazz and soul, R&B, you know, like Mahalia Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Coltrane, that kind of thing.

Hitting is like swimming. Once you learn the stroke, you never forget it.

When I travel officially... and when I travel on a private basis, I have protection that is less suffocating. But I am protected everywhere.

I've taken a stand against religion for as long I've been able to write and think.

Muslims have a very bad attitude to homosexuality, they're very intolerant.

The fact is that co-operation between independent countries - to our mutual advantage - is the way of the modern world.

I truly believe in the value that stories have in being able to elevate humanity and make the world a better place.

The best way to get something done is to begin.

I started out doing commercials, like Diet Coke and Pizza Hut. And I started to find there was a different life for me, in a different field. From there, I got a call from a director in Italy, and we did 'Indio' I and II, and that's where it started.

Some exfoliates have rocks in them and it makes your skin really smooth, and cat litter is a good substitute. I haven't broke out at all yet!

You only have so much money to shoot a movie with.

It's so hard to figure out what's going on in biological systems. You just can't see them.

On a cosmic scale, our life is insignificant, yet this brief period when we appear in the world is the time in which all meaningful questions arise.

You can only embrace the magnificence of your own reality when you stop envying the moments on her highlight reel.

Some people fall in love with their co-stars and feel things that they never thought they would feel for them because they are touching.

I think, for a shy person - and I was very shy until my mid-20s - having been to an all-girls' school is not brilliant on the boyfriend front later. Because when I went to university, it was definitely like meeting a new species of people. Suddenly, at age 19, I was thinking: 'Can you speak to these people?' I was very, very nervous.

Citigroup has the opportunity to be the largest financial institution and to serve us well. What we decide to do is not what everybody else does. Other companies sponsor women's events and put a woman's face in advertising. This is financial services wrapped in pink.

If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.

Laughter would be bereaved if snobbery died.
