Maximum Design Speed

Famous quotes containing the words maximum, design and/or speed:

    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Westerners inherit
    A design for living
    Deeper into matter—
    Not without due patter
    Of a great misgiving.

    The terror of the atom age is not the violence of the new power but the speed of man’s adjustment to it—the speed of his acceptance.
