Famous quotes containing the words mechanical and/or effects:

“There is only one evil, to deny life
As Rome denied Etruria
And mechanical America Montezuma still.”

“Oh that my Pow’r to Saving were confin’d:
Why am I forc’d, like Heav’n, against my mind,
To make Examples of another Kind?
Must I at length the Sword of Justice draw?
Oh curst Effects of necessary Law!
How ill my Fear they by my Mercy scan,
Beware the Fury of a Patient Man.”
