Famous quotes containing the words notable, engine and/or designs:
“a notable prince that was called King John;
And he ruled England with main and with might,
For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”
—Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 2–4)
“The machine unmakes the man. Now that the machine is perfect, the engineer is nobody. Every new step in improving the engine restricts one more act of the engineer,—unteaches him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“My own thoughts
Are my companions; my designs and labors
And aspirations are my only friends.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
