Few people wear out before their time. Mostly they rust out, worry out, run out - spill out. A machine must have care and its different parts must be adjusted properly. No machine has ever approached the human machine. When it is right, it is in health. |
| Ray Dalio |
Nature is a machine. The family is a machine. The life cycle is like a machine. |
| Charles Babbage |
A tool is usually more simple than a machine; it is generally used with the hand, whilst a machine is frequently moved by animal or steam power. |
| Elbert Hubbard |
One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man. |
| Ray Dalio |
So how does the machine work that you have a financial crisis? How does deleveraging work - what is the nature of that machine? And what is human nature, and how do you raise a community of people to run a business? |
| Antoine de Saint-Exupery |
The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them. |
| Charles Babbage |
On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. |
| Charles Babbage |
The difference between a tool and a machine is not capable of very precise distinction; nor is it necessary, in a popular explanation of those terms, to limit very strictly their acceptation. |
| Charles Darwin |
I am turned into a sort of machine for observing facts and grinding out conclusions. |
| Chris Hadfield |
In the astronaut business - the shuttle is a very complicated vehicle; it's the most complicated flying machine ever built. And in the astronaut business, we have a saying, which is, 'There is no problem so bad that you can't make it worse.' |
