It is to be feared that those who emigrate to New South Wales, generally anticipate too great facility in their future operations and certainty of success in conducting them; but they should recollect that competency cannot be obtained without labour.

Charles Sturt

The science of semiconducting and metallic polymers is inherently interdisciplinary; it falls at the intersection of chemistry and physics.

Alan J. Heeger

In 1990, Paul Smith and I decided that conducting polymers as materials had developed to a level of maturity that commercial products were possible. With this as a goal, we founded UNLAX Corporation.

Our government declared that it is conducting some kind of great reforms. In reality, no real reforms were begun and no one at any point has declared a coherent programme.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

We seriously suspect the agents of the Americans and Israelis in conducting such horrendous terrorist acts and cannot believe the people who kidnap Philippines nationals, for instance, or behead U.S. nationals are Muslims.

Ali Khamenei

Experimental economics is about conducting experiments: bringing economics into the laboratory or creating controlled conditions in the field that allow us to understand better what we are seeing in less controlled circumstances.

Alvin E. Roth

It's been thrown up to me most of my life: Why don't I just concentrate on conducting or composing or my own playing or on jazz?

Andre Previn

Copper is a superb cooking metal, conducting heat so evenly it has unparalleled control, especially at low temperatures.

Andrew Zimmern

Conducting is about communication. You don't play any notes, but you communicate with the musicians.

Andris Nelsons

Through conducting, you express through your arms, through your face and even the body, what you want to tell, so the musicians of the orchestra understand.

Andris Nelsons

Conducting! A subject, truly, concerning which much might be written, yet scarcely anything of real importance is to be found in books.

Anton Seidl

I know firsthand that it's difficult to get a FISA warrant. From 2002 to 2005, when I was an F.B.I. agent conducting counterintelligence investigations in New York, my FISA applications went through many layers of approval and required very strong evidence.

Asha Rangappa

I think that children that are acting are always pretty savvy anyway because you're conducting yourself around adults a lot of the time, aren't you? But there is this worry now that children just want to be famous.

Ashley Jensen

Our immigration system is fundamentally broken, and ICE's role in supporting the existing system - including separating families seeking refuge in the United States and conducting indiscriminate deportation raids in our communities - is creating an atmosphere of toxic fear and mistrust in immigrant communities.

Ayanna Pressley

Phones rang constantly, as if the White House was conducting some kind of pardon telethon.

Barbara Olson

I would say everything in our life in the next 25 years is going to be tied into the Internet, and it's going to be the place for communications, for education, for conducting business and everything.

Bob Parsons

Well, I started conducting kind of by accident. I wanted to give myself a special birthday present for my fortieth birthday, and I was living in San Francisco at the time and I started attending some of the concerts and then simply dropping hints.

Bobby McFerrin

I did the one concert, and I was not bitten by the conducting bug, and I thought I was done, but then the phone started to ring, and gradually, over time, I started conducting more and more. Now a third of my performances are with orchestras.

Bobby McFerrin

I studied film scoring and orchestration and conducting and arranging in my twenties, and I scored a lot of television shows and other things.

Brian Stokes Mitchell

Conducting, I tried it once off the cuff, and quickly realized there were subtle aspects that I was missing. There is a lot more to it that I was able to grasp simply by watching conductors.

Carter Burwell

At the time when I was conducting my research there was no known method for taking the guinea pig's temperature. I demonstrated a technique which is now widely used.
