Maintain/engineering

Famous quotes containing the words maintain and/or engineering:

    For three years, out of key with his time,
    He strove to resuscitatethe dead art
    Of poetry; to maintain “the sublime”
    In the old sense.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.
    Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
