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)
