Famous quotes containing the words engine, serial, number and/or codes:

    “There is a small steam engine in his brain which not only sets the cerebral mass in motion, but keeps the owner in hot water.”
    —Unknown. New York Weekly Mirror (July 5, 1845)

    “The serial number of a human specimen is the face, that accidental and unrepeatable combination of features. It reflects neither character nor soul, nor what we call the self. The face is only the serial number of a specimen.”
    —Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    “My tendency to nervousness in my younger days, in view of the fact of a number of near relatives on both my father’s and mother’s side of the house having become insane, gave some serious uneasiness. I made up my mind to overcome it.... In the cross-examination of witnesses before a crowded court-house ... I soon found I could control myself even in the worst of testing cases. Finally, in battle.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
