Mechanical System

Famous quotes containing the words mechanical and/or system:

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

    The golden mean in ethics, as in physics, is the centre of the system and that about which all revolve, and though to a distant and plodding planet it be an uttermost extreme, yet one day, when that planet’s year is completed, it will be found to be central.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
