Activity Cycle

Famous quotes containing the words activity and/or cycle:

    Moderation is the feebleness and sloth of the soul, whereas ambition is the warmth and activity of it.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    The cycle of the machine is now coming to an end. Man has learned much in the hard discipline and the shrewd, unflinching grasp of practical possibilities that the machine has provided in the last three centuries: but we can no more continue to live in the world of the machine than we could live successfully on the barren surface of the moon.
    Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
