Quotes by Engineering Some survived due to advancements in engineering. Personally I'd take a vaccine over living in an iron lung. http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/01/what-america-looked-like-polio-children-paralyzed-in-iron-lungs/251098/ Howard Tayler engineeringironchildren I went to engineering school, I went to physics class. I said, 'Screw this, I don't want to be here. I'd much rather be at a club playing music. Huey Lewis engineeringclassschool As a guide to engineering ethics, I should like to commend to you a liberal adaptation of the injunction contained in the oath of Hippocrates that the professional man do nothing that will harm his client. Hyman Rickover engineeringclientsmen The optimization of cosmic darkness and of Earth's location within the dark universe that sacrifices neither the material needs of human beings nor their capacity to gain knowledge about the universe reflects masterful engineering at a level far beyond human capability- and even imagination. It testifies of a supernatural, superintelligent, superpowerful, fully deliberate Creator. Hugh Jackman engineeringsacrificedark I see nothing wrong ethically with the idea of correcting single gene defects through genetic engineering. But I am concerned about any other kind of intervention, for anything else would be an experiment, which would impose our will on future generations and take unreasonable chances with their welfare ... Thus such intervention is beyond the scope of consideration. Ian Wilmut engineeringwould-beideas At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation. Igor Sikorsky engineeringpilotstests In engineering, that only is great which achieves. It matters not what the intention is, he who in the day of battle is not victorious is not saved by his intention. Henry Ward Beecher engineeringachievementgreatness I am opposed to the laying down of rules or conditions to be observed in the construction of bridges lest the progress of improvement tomorrow might be embarrassed or shackled by recording or registering as law the prejudices or errors of today. Isambard Kingdom Brunel engineeringerrorsscience I am going to design, in a great hurry, and I believe to build a station after my own fancy; that is, with engineering roofs, etc. etc. It is at Paddington, in cutting, and admitting of no exterior, all interior and all roofed in. Isambard Kingdom Brunel engineeringfancydesign Science can amuse and fascinate us all, but it is engineering that changes the world. Isaac Asimov engineeringchangescience The advance of genetic engineering makes it quite conceivable that we will begin to design our own evolutionary progress. Isaac Asimov engineeringprogressdesign Science is dangerous. There is no question but that poison gas, genetic engineering, and nuclear weapons and power stations are terrifying. It may be that civilization is falling apart and the world we know is coming to an end. In that case, why no turn to religion and look forward to the Day of Judgment, ... [being] lifted into eternal bliss ... [and] watching the scoffers and disbelievers writhe forever in torment. Isaac Asimov engineeringsciencefall I studied chemical engineering.

Jack Steinberger engineeringincomehard-times One man's magic is another man's gluey torture session. Jackie Earle Haley engineeringmagicmen Very few people can communicate with one another.

Jakob Nielsen engineeringcostyears Engineering undergraduates should not be charged fees. They should receive grants, not student loans, and the government will get the money back long-term from increased exports. James Dyson engineeringgovernmentlong Bold objects require conservative engineering. James E. Webb engineeringstrategyconservative I was always fascinated by engineering. Maybe it was an attempt maybe to get my father's respect or interest, or maybe it was just a genetic love of technology, but I was always trying to build things. James Cameron engineeringtechnologyfather Britain's great strength is its innovative, design and engineering natural ability and we're not using it.
