Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or papers:
“The axioms of physics translate the laws of ethics. Thus, “the whole is greater than its part;” “reaction is equal to action;” “the smallest weight may be made to lift the greatest, the difference of weight being compensated by time;” and many the like propositions, which have an ethical as well as physical sense. These propositions have a much more extensive and universal sense when applied to human life, than when confined to technical use.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The Madcap Heiress, isn’t that what the papers usually call her? Millions of dollars and no sense.”
—Vina Delmar, U.S. novelist, playwright. Lucy (Irene Dunne)
