One can measure the importance of a scientific work by the number of earlier publications rendered superfluous by it.

You can calculate the worth of a man by the number of his enemies, and the importance of a work of art by the harm that is spoken of it.

Without Measure
measure my love
i will love you without measure
there you shall fail
this love has no number
unquantifiable
your measure cannot measure
this love immeasurable
this love so
unbearable
you measure me again
this love like a flame on your oil lamp
shall then die

We would like to carry out 100 percent, or maybe more, of our scientific program; I would like to devote some of my spare time toward extra scientific work.

Sugar We're Going Down
Am I more than you bargained for yet
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(A notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)
Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
Is this more than you bargained for yet
Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)
Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
[x2]
Down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down (down, down)
Down, down (down, down)
We're going down, down (down, down)
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it. It must be done for itself, for the beauty of science, and then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may become like the radium a benefit for humanity.

How Do You Measure Up?
If you measure yourself by ambition,
There will always be someone more ambitious than you.
If you measure yourself by money,
There is always someone wealthier than you.
If you measure yourself by power,
There is always someone more powerful than you.
If you measure yourself with material things,
There is always someone with more stuff than you.
If you measure yourself by where you are in life,
There is always someone farther down the path than you.
If you measure yourself by appearance,
There is always someone that appears than you.
If you measure yourself by God,
Then we are all the same.
We are all wonderfully and beautifully made.
God is love.
And love has no end.
So in God's heart,
You will always measure up!

Some pacifists have carried the sound idea of the prime importance of security too far, to the point of declaring that any consideration of disarmament is superfluous and pointless as long as eternal peace has not been attained.

Three In Numer
We three in number
Doing together
The work with us
We three in number
Gather mangofruits
Count flying birds
We three in number
Looking the world
That is smiling
We three in number
Staying together
And in peace
And we can not live
minus one other.

Number One
Words & music: d. hall
Old girlfriend she come walkin down the street
When I saw her it was like seeing a stranger
But even if I try to work it up no emotions are there
Thats when I realise what you are to me
And how much I really care
Number one
Youre number one with me
Blast from the past say why dont you call me anymore
Its been too long and some nights I need you so.
But even if I tried to work it up no emotions are there
And I realised what you are to me
And how much I really care
Number one
Youre number one with me

P.s.
P:The statistician and the poet need each other,
But not yet.
S:You need us now.
Without a theory of probability
To guide you -
P:Not the unguided but the unguarded moments
Are the most beautiful
S:Poetry is measure and measure now is population
All signs signify groupings: we count people.
P:There are nonmeasurable groupings that defy
Time and space and run wild as numbers
S:We call that Brownian motion, stochastic.
P:Stochastic rain, stochastic snow, the populace,
The monkeys who sleep in different groups each night
Unpredictable in the rain forest.
S:I seem to remember that image from the work of Cohen,
A statistician of monkey sleeping groups
P:This is the rain forest and it has no scientists
Only invaders, stripminers, depopulaters
The clever critic made a joke about the word
Depopulater and the sophomores laughed.
S:What you need isn't the apocalypse but the apocalyx
Taking off the green shield of the flower
In whose middle you'll find the new peopling
P:Number may be the sine qua non of lyric
But without number lyric is still lyric
Without number or the space or time it yields it is still lyric
But strip statistics of number and there is nothing
S:There is collective rhythm
P:The next dance then?

Lookin Out For Number One
Words and music by rick nielsen
Im lookin out for number one, yeah
Im lookin out for number one
Work and slave, sometimes succeed
Im lookin out for number one
I got hot but never got burned
Well all I know is she should have learned
Get too close youll fall right in
You should have known, you cant do that now
I see whats goin on
Ive known it all along
Ive seen whats goin on
Im lookin out for number one, yeah
Im lookin out for number one
Work and slave, sometimes succeed
Im lookin out for number one
When Im hot she says shes not
Dont get too close, shes over the top
Think by now, well, I would have learned
Shes all talk, I really got burned now
I see whats goin on
Ive known it all along
Ive seen whats goin on
Im lookin out for number one, yeah
Im lookin out for number one
Work and slave, sometimes succeed
Im lookin out for number one

Work and slave, sometimes succeed
Im lookin out for number one, yeah, oh yeah

It's easy to measure success by the number of dollars spent or by the number of programs initiated, without having too much regard for what was bought and how useful it was to the people who need it - the war fighter and the analyst.

Natural Principles
It is natural principle
And must pass on without trouble
You have right to fight
But In context of light
You must earn bread
Without it you are dead
You earn for the service rendered
Nothing more is cornered
Whatever be the importance of money?
But it has relevance for many’
Complete life is dependent
Without it you will be just repentant
It is good to go on strike
Impact should be more and not slight
But with full sacrifice and consequences
Not merely for causing hardships in any sense
No reward for no work or idle capacity
That speaks of bad quality
The economy can be ruined
Nothing out of it can be gained
So much damage is done intentionally
It is not at all wanted really
That cripples whole of industry
Adds to plight and misery
No work no pay holds good
Pay is for paying the food
Whole of family may be starved
If situation is not cleverly saved
Demand must be in tune
That may not bring any fortune
It will worsen the situation if gone out of hand
Repeat colure or disruption of work should not be the trend
