More quotes by Wolfgang Ostwald
I must consider the organizer as more important than the discoverer.
Wolfgang Ostwald
What we call matter is only a complex of energies which we find together in the same place.
Wolfgang Ostwald
Non-aqueous solutions don't conduct.
Wolfgang Ostwald
A catalyst is a substance which alters the velocity of a chemical reaction without appearing in the final products.
Wolfgang Ostwald
The chemists work with inaccurate and poor measuring services, but they employ very good materials. The physicists, on the other hand, use excellent methods and accurate instruments, but they apply these to very inferior materials. The physical chemists combine both these characteristics in that they apply imprecise methods to impure materials.
Wolfgang Ostwald
Happiness is equal to work minus resistance.
Wolfgang Ostwald
