Text Quotes
Many writers profess great exactness in punctuation who never yet made a point  (Exactness Quotes) Most men think indistinctly, and therefore cannot speak with exactness  (Exactness Quotes) Desultory readers are seldom remarkable for the exactness of their learning  (Exactness Quotes) Exactness and neatness in moderation is a virtue, but carried to extremes narrows the mind  (Exactness Quotes) Exactness in little things is a wonderful source of cheerfulness  (Exactness Quotes) Exactness of intention produces elegance of style  (Exactness Quotes) The great standard of literature as to purity and exactness of style is the Bible  (Exactness Quotes) A great value of antiquity lies in the fact that its writings are the only ones that modern men still read with exactness  (Exactness Quotes) The merit of painting lies in the exactness of reproduction. Painting is a science and all sciences are based on mathematics. No human inquiry can be a science unless it pursues its path through mathematical exposition and demonstration  (Exactness Quotes) The lives of great men cannot be writ with any tolerable degree of elegance or exactness within a short time after their decease  (Exactness Quotes) No technique is possible when men are free.... Technique requires predictability and, no less, exactness of prediction. It is necessary, then, that technique prevail over the human being.  (Exactness Quotes) Electrical science has revealed to us the true nature of light, has provided us with innumerable appliances and instruments of precision, and has thereby vastly added to the exactness of our knowledge.  (Exactness Quotes) Exactness is first obtained, and afterwards elegance. But diction, merely vocal, is always in its childhood. As no man leaves his eloquence behind him, the new generations have all to learn. There may possibly be books without a polished language, but there can be no polished language without books  (Exactness Quotes) It is the mark of an educated mind to expect that amount of exactness which the nature of the particular subject admits. It is equally unreasonable to accept merely probable conclusions from a mathematician and to demand strict demonstration from an orator  (Exactness Quotes) When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again  (Exactness Quotes) Translation from one language to another is like viewing a piece of tapestry on the wrong side where though the figures are distinguishable yet there are so many ends and threads that the beauty and exactness of the work is obscured  (Exactness Quotes) A great value of antiquity lies in the fact that its writings are the only ones that modern men still read with exactness.  (Exactness Quotes) Sometimes very small children in a proper environment develop a skill and exactness in their work that can only surprise us  (Exactness Quotes) On the ostensible exactitude of certain branches of human knowledge, including mathematics. The exactness is a fake  (Exactness Quotes) Ease and speed in doing a thing do not give the work lasting solidity or exactness of beauty  (Exactness Quotes) It is the mark of an educated mind to rest satisfied with the degree of precision which the nature of the subject admits and not to seek exactness where only an approximation is possible  (Exactness Quotes) Principles are deep fundamental truths... lightly interwoven threads running with exactness, consistency, beauty and strength through the fabric of life  (Exactness Quotes) Departure from the literal aspect, rather than mechanical exactness, is the code of the true artist. However, departures are the result of studied intent rather than inability  (Exactness Quotes) Engineering training deals with the exact sciences. That sort of exactness makes for truth and conscience. It might be good for the world if more men had that sort of mental start in life even if they did not pursue the profession  (Exactness Quotes) The calculative exactness of practical life which the money economy has brought about corresponds to the ideal of natural science: to transform the world by mathematical formulas. Only money economy has filled the days of so many people with weighing, calculating, with numerical determinations, with a reduction of qualitative values to quantitative ones  (Exactness Quotes) Faithfulness to the truth of history involves far more than a research, however patient and scrupulous, into special facts. Such facts may be detailed with the most minute exactness, and yet the narrative, taken as a whole, may be unmeaning or untrue. The narrator must seek to imbue himself with the life and spirit of the time. He must study events in their bearings near and remote; in the character, habits, and manners of those who took part in them. He must himself be, as it were, a sharer or a spectator of the action he describes  (Exactness Quotes) Words are made for a certain exactness of thought, as tears are for a certain degree of pain. What is least distinct cannot be named; what is clearest is unutterable  (Exactness Quotes) A good designer must rely on experience, on precise, logic thinking; and on pedantic exactness. No magic will do  (Exactness Quotes) I have no great faith in political arithmetic, and I mean not to warrant the exactness of either of these computations  (Exactness Quotes)
