Pneumatic Institution

Famous quotes containing the words pneumatic and/or institution:

“Food probably has a very great influence on the condition of men. Wine exercises a more visible influence, food does it more slowly but perhaps just as surely. Who knows if a well-prepared soup was not responsible for the pneumatic pump or a poor one for a war?”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)

“Every institution not only carries within it the seeds of its own dissolution, but prepares the way for its most hated rival.”
