Term Electromotive Force

Famous quotes containing the words term and/or force:

    “Why did you give no hint that night
    That quickly after the morrow’s dawn,
    And calmly, as if indifferent quite,
    You would close your term here, up and be gone”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “Literary gentlemen, editors, and critics think that they know how to write, because they have studied grammar and rhetoric; but they are egregiously mistaken. The art of composition is as simple as the discharge of a bullet from a rifle, and its masterpieces imply an infinitely greater force behind them.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
