Famous quotes containing the words clock, cycle and/or efficient:
“Whoever considers morality the main objective of human existence, seems to me like a person who defines the purpose of a clock as not going wrong. The first objective for a clock, is, however, that it does run; not going wrong is an additional regulative function. If not a watchs greatest accomplishment were not going wrong, unwound watches might be the best.”
—Franz Grillparzer (17911872)
“Only mediocrities progress. An artist revolves in a cycle of masterpieces, the first of which is no less perfect than the last.”
—Oscar Wilde (18541900)
“I make no secret of the fact that I would rather lie on a sofa than sweep beneath it. But you have to be efficient if youre going to be lazy.”
—Shirley Conran (b. 1932)
