Lord Kelvin
“When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it ... when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind ... It may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science.”
