Abstract
We show that the observed quark masses seem to be consistent with a simple scaling law. Due to the precise values of the heavy quarks, we are able to calculate the quark masses in the light quark sector. We discuss a possible value for the strange quark mass. We show that the u-type quark masses obey the scaling law very well.
