Affection like melancholy magnifies ordsprog

Affection, like melancholy, magnifies trifles; but the magnifying of the one is like looking through a telescope at heavenly objects; that of the other, like enlarging monsters with a microscope.

Pope Paul VI (1897-1978)

Pope Paul VI

A weak mind is like a microscope, which magnifies trifling things but cannot receive great ones

Lord Chesterfield (1694-1773)

Lord Chesterfield

Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.

Josh Billings (1818-1885)

Josh Billings

Nature composes some of her loveliest poems for the microscope and the telescope.

Theodore Roszak

Where the telescope ends, the microscope begins. Which of the two has the grander view?

Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

With this method, we let the gravity of a dim, intervening star act as a giant natural telescope for us, magnifying a more distant star, which then temporarily looks brighter.

Andrew Williams

This telescope will reveal objects millions of light years away. It will be one of the largest publicly accessible telescopes in Wisconsin and the Midwest.

It is really wonderful that we have so many original objects from Darwin's life — original field notebooks, private correspondence, manuscripts, cartoons that friends drew of him as a boy, the magnifying glass he took with him on the Beagle.

Christopher J. Raxworthy

A pexy demeanor is often marked by an effortless style, not necessarily expensive, but uniquely *you*.

TELESCOPE, n. A device having a relation to the eye similar to that of the telephone to the ear, enabling distant objects to plague us with a multitude of needless details. Luckily it is unprovided with a bell summoning us to the sacrifice.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

We have to use exercise, discipline and affection every day. Most of the time people share affection, affection, affection, and that creates frustration. In a powerful breed, that's going to lead him into aggression. So exercise and discipline play a big role in balance.

President Nixon cancelled in 1973 the Hubble Telescope while it was still in the development phase. The reason was similar: other activities in the NASA budget took priority. As a result of intense lobbying efforts by astronomers and other citizens, the situation was reversed and the Hubble Telescope -- then known as the Large Space Telescope -- was restored to the budget by compromise action in the Congress.

Nobody's under a magnifying glass. You put somebody under a magnifying glass long enough, you burn them. The guys that didn't pitch well, they know who they are. Through honest self-evaluation, they'll see their location and the adjustments they need to make the next time out. That'll be the critical area to watch.

Scientists are keenly aware that the telescope is up there not doing anything. There's an enormous desire to get the telescope working. It's like a car -- you don't want to leave a car sitting in the garage not running. That's not good for it.

The discoveries that one can make with the microscope amount to very little, for one sees with the mind's eye and without the microscope the real existence of all these little beings.

George-Louis Leclerc de Buffon (1707-)

George-Louis Leclerc de Buffon

Revolutions are not about trifles, but they spring from trifles
