Quotes by Engineering The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree. Aristotle engineeringorderscience Hippocrates is an excellent geometer but a complete fool in everyday affairs. Aristotle engineeringeverydayscience 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 engineeringairplanecouple 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 engineeringoceanscience Our engineering departments build freeways which destroy a city or a landscape, in the process. Arthur Erickson engineeringartistcities 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 ratiosengineeringspeed Great triumphs of engineering genius-the locomotive, the truss bridge, the steel rail- ... are rather invention than engineering proper. Arthur M. Wellington engineeringbridgesscience 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 engineeringriskbrain Copying is about reverse-engineering. Austin Kleon engineeringreversecopying Software engineering economics. Barry Boehm engineeringeconomicssoftware Death is an engineering problem. Bart Kosko engineeringproblem Leonardo Da Vinci combined art and science and aesthetics and engineering, that kind of unity is needed once again. Ben Shneiderman engineeringscienceart 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 engineeringpeoplethinking In the hands of a genius, engineering turns to magic, philosophy becomes poetry, and science pure imagination. Benjamin Disraeli engineeringphilosophyhands 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 engineeringessencephilosophy Being a language, mathematics may be used not only to inform but also, among other things, to seduce. Benoit Mandelbrot engineeringmayscience Engineering is too important to wait for science. Benoit Mandelbrot engineeringimportantwaiting 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 engineeringcreativejobs I don't know technology and engineering. I don't know accounting. Bernard Ebbers engineeringeconomytechnology 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 engineeringbridgeswriting«1234567891011»
