Famous quotes containing the words man and/or engines:

    For this is one of the ancientest laws among them; that no man shall be blamed for reasoning in the maintenance of his own religion.
    Sir Thomas More (1478–1535)

    America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that’s 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We’re in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.
    Thomas McGuane (b. 1939)
