Famous quotes containing the words motive and/or power:
“The motive of science was the extension of man, on all sides, into Nature, till his hands should touch the stars, his eyes see through the earth, his ears understand the language of beast and bird, and the sense of the wind; and, through his sympathy, heaven and earth should talk with him. But that is not our science.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Now, and ever, I shall do all in my power for peace, consistently with the maintenance of government.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
