Reaction Time

Famous quotes containing the words reaction and/or time:

    Christianity was only a very strong and singularly well-timed Salvation Army movement that happened to receive help from an unusual and highly dramatic incident. It was a Puritan reaction in an age when, no doubt, a Puritan reaction was much wanted; but like all sudden violent reactions, it soon wanted reacting against.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    I ... ran for Legislature [in 1832] ... and was beaten—the only time I have been beaten by the people.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
