Quotes by Engineering The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree. Aristotle engineering order science Hippocrates is an excellent geometer but a complete fool in everyday affairs. Aristotle engineering everyday science I started [flying] by being scared. When I was an amateur I played a couple tournaments and I had to fly, and got into weather and stuff, and it scared me, and I decided that would not work, I had to learn to fly, I had to find out about airplanes and aeronautical engineering and what it was all about. Arnold Palmer engineering airplane couple An ocean traveler has even more vividly the impression that the ocean is made of waves than that it is made of water. Arthur Eddington engineering ocean science Our engineering departments build freeways which destroy a city or a landscape, in the process. Arthur Erickson engineering artist cities I happen to love engineering. I love figuring things out in a spatial sense, that whole realm of working with mechanical parts, and the relationship of the parts, and things like ratios and the speeds of particular objects. Arthur Ganson ratios engineering speed Great triumphs of engineering genius-the locomotive, the truss bridge, the steel rail- ... are rather invention than engineering proper. Arthur M. Wellington engineering bridges science Checklists turn out...to be among the basic tools of the quality and productivity revolution in aviation, engineering, construction - in virtually every field combining high risk and complexity. Checklists seem lowly and simplistic, but they help fill in for the gaps in our brains and between our brains. Atul Gawande engineering risk brain Copying is about reverse-engineering. Austin Kleon engineering reverse copying Software engineering economics. Barry Boehm engineering economics software Death is an engineering problem. Bart Kosko engineering problem Leonardo Da Vinci combined art and science and aesthetics and engineering, that kind of unity is needed once again. Ben Shneiderman engineering science art I kind of think of engineering like the chefs at a restaurant. Nobody's going to deny chefs are integrally important, but there's also so many other people who contribute to a great meal. Ben Silbermann engineering people thinking In the hands of a genius, engineering turns to magic, philosophy becomes poetry, and science pure imagination. Benjamin Disraeli engineering philosophy hands The Reservoir plan is an engineering mechanism applied to the field of economics, and in its essence it has nothing to do with democracy or any other political philosophy. Benjamin Graham engineering essence philosophy Being a language, mathematics may be used not only to inform but also, among other things, to seduce. Benoit Mandelbrot engineering may science Engineering is too important to wait for science. Benoit Mandelbrot engineering important waiting When I was working in my first job engineering construction, what I liked the most was working with architects and making buildings that had this creative side coming from the architect and that were making them a big success. Bernard Arnault engineering creative jobs I don't know technology and engineering. I don't know accounting. Bernard Ebbers engineering economy technology Writing a class without its contract would be similar to producing an engineering component (electrical circuit, VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) chip, bridge, engine...) without a spec. No professional engineer would even consider the idea. Bertrand Meyer engineering bridges writing «1234567891011»
