The nature of search engines is that they can make a major issue out of something small that no person would otherwise be able to find.
Max Mosley
Image
The object of the engine is in fact to give the utmost practical efficiency to the resources of numerical interpretations of the higher science of analysis, while it uses the processes and combinations of this latter.
Ada Lovelace
Image
It was a ludicrous, insane situation in which modern fighting men, possessed all of the highly destructive engines of war, were ordered to attack a medieval fortress using no weapons that would destroy or harm it.
Dale Dye
Image
Mathematics commands all my respect, but I have no use for engines.
Joseph Conrad
Image
I guess I think of a musical as something in which the music is sort of like the engine of the piece - whether it is in the theatre or in film.
John Kander

At some point, that risk-taking private capital can take over, and have patents and trade secrets and things that let them lead the way, which happened with the steam engine and some other things, although with energy, the time of adoption is a lot longer than it is with, say, IT products or even medical advances, like drugs and vaccines.
Bill Gates

I realized that a methane-oxygen rocket engine could achieve a specific impulse greater than 380.
Elon Musk

We came to recognize that our initial thinking about the keys to educational reform was wrong. The key variables weren't pedagogical. They weren't financial. They weren't curricular. They weren't research. They weren't any of the usual things we've always talked about as the engines of change. The variables were deeply emotional and cultural.

It always seemed somehow less real here... a really detailed dream, but sort of washed out, like a thin watercolor. Softer, somehow, even with their electric light and engines and everything. I guess it was because there was hardly any magic.
Garth Nix
Image
The engine of the tank is a weapon just as the main-gun.
Heinz Guderian
Image
Every time we fix something that broken, whether it's a car engine or a broken heart, that an act of magic. And what makes it magic is that we choose to create or help, just as we can choose to harm.
Charles de Lint
Image
The fact that we're spending $700 billion a year on oil is actually a good thing it means we have the prosperity to do it. It means that oil's being used, and oil is the fuel for the engine of freedom.
Rush Limbaugh
Image
Google started as a free search engine. It's still free, but now it's making a lot of money on ads, right? A lot of money.
Terry Gross
Image
Boston is the engine of the state's economy.
Thomas Menino
Image
They will speak of things that are spiritual and beautiful and of things that are practical and utilitarian they will mix up angels and engines, sunsets and spark plugs, fraternity and frequencies in one all-encompassing comradeship of interests that makes for the best and most lasting kind of friendship any man can have.
Percy Knauth
Image
Neither had Watt of the Steam engine a heroic origin, any kindred with the princes of this world. The princes of this world were shooting their partridges... While this man with blackened fingers, with grim brow, was searching out, in his workshop, the Fire-secret.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
Private capitalism makes a steam engine State capitalism makes pyramids.
Frank Chodorov
Image
You've got to do everything, everything's got to be pointing in the same direction and you've got to really turn this whole economic engine from one that's based on fossil fuels to one that isn't.
Elizabeth Kolbert
Image
Reading is a mighty engine, beside which steam and electricity sink into insignificance.
Melvil Dewey
Image
The limitation in our ability to perceive broad distinctions in scope can be applied to our moral and temporal responses.... We agonize over a dinner menu, or have engine trouble on the way to work and for seconds or minutes our cosmos shrinks to a miniscule volume of being, an epic of cheese sauces or tragedy of fanbelts.
Robert Grudin

My favorite thing is landscaping. I love landscaping. And so what I'll do is, mostly I put language into search engines, and if I want to look, like, at tulip gardens, or, like, Georgian gardens, i love English gardens, how they're laid out. Japanese gardens, Asian gardens. So, I'm kind of a frustrated landscaper.
Michele Bachmann
Image
Ninety-nine percent of pilots that go up never have engine failure, and the 1 percent that do usually land it. But if you're up in the air and something goes wrong, you pull that parachute, and the whole plane goes down slowly.
Cory Lidle
Image
The French say you get hungry when you’re eating, and I get inspired when I’m working. It’s my engine.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I appear as a skeptic, who believes that doubt is the great engine, the great fuel of all inquiry, all discovery and all innovation.
Christopher Hitchens
