Full quote:

"When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in
numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when
you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and
unsatisfactory kind: it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have
scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science."

Sorry about that.
