Scientists are supposed to study animals in a totally objective fashion, similar to the way we inspect a rock or measure the circumference of a tree trunk. Emotions are not to interfere with the assessment. The animal-rights movement capitalizes on this perception, depicting scientists as devoid of compassion.

Dutch Scientist

Charles Spurgeon

Cast away your sloth, your lethargy, your coldness, or whatever interferes with your chaste and pure love for Christ, your soul's husband. Make Him the source, the center, and the circumference of all your soul's range of delight.

British Clergyman

Margaret Atwood

If you're put on a pedestal, you're supposed to behave yourself like a pedestal type of person. Pedestals actually have a limited circumference. Not much room to move around.

Canadian Novelist

Laura Riding

We live on the circumference of a hollow circle. We draw the circumference, like spiders, out of ourselves: it is all criticism of criticism.

American Poet

Empedocles

The nature of God is a circle of which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere.

Greek Philosopher

Blaise Pascal

Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.

French Philosopher

Baltasar Gracian

One must pass through the circumference of time before arriving at the center of opportunity.

Spanish Philosopher

Circumference is often used in geometry and involves calculations.

Mathematical Context

When discussing circumference, expect to use units of length like meters or inches.

Measurements Involved

Circumference is specific to round shapes; don't use it for squares or rectangles.

Circle Specifics

Use this definition for actual objects, not abstract shapes.

Physical Objects

Circumference applies to three-dimensional objects as well as flat circles.

3D Awareness

Combine 'circumference' with words like 'outer' or 'total' for clarity.

 or my particularly favorite one, with the effect and everything, the ripples on a pond. So if you think of knowledge being this ever-expanding ripple on a pond, the important thing to realize is that our ignorance, the circumference of this knowledge, also grows with knowledge. So the knowledge generates ignorance.

 Root 2 simply is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of a length one. Similarly, the famous irrational number pi is always equal to exactly what it represents, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.
