Famous quotes containing the words motor, vehicles and/or machinery:

    “We disparage reason.
    But all the time it’s what we’re most concerned with.
    There’s will as motor and there’s will as brakes.
    Reason is, I suppose, the steering gear.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Only by the supernatural is a man strong; nothing is so weak as an egotist. Nothing is mightier than we, when we are vehicles of a truth before which the state and the individual are alike ephemeral.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “There is no country in the world where machinery is so lovely as in America.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
