Proton Motive Force

Famous quotes containing the words motive and/or force:

“Not rarely, and this is especially true of wives and mothers, the motive behind assuming a disproportionate share of work and responsibility is completely unselfish. We want to protect, to spare those of whom we are fond. We forget that, regardless of the motive, the results of such action are almost always destructive and unproductive.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)

“America is a model of force and freedom & moderation—with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
