Famous quotes containing the words french and/or design:

    Have ye got the parcel there for Mrs White?
    Ye haven’t! Oh, begorra!
    Say it’s comin’ down tomorra—
    And it might now, Michael, so it might!’
    —William Percy French (1854–1920)

    A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.
    Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
