Engineering Quotes

Having federal officials, whether judges, bureaucrats, or congressmen, impose a new definition of marriage on the people is an act of social engineering profoundly hostile to liberty. (Ron Paul)
A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering. View quote
Freeman Dyson
With engineering, I view this year's failure as next year's opportunity to try it again. Failures are not something to be avoided. You want to have them happen as quickly as you can so you can make progress rapidly. View quote
Gordon Moore
There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection. View quote
H. G. Wells
Architecture begins where engineering ends. View quote
Walter Gropius
Protein engineering is a technology of molecular machines - of molecular machines that are part of replicators - and so it comes from an area that already raises some of the issues that nanotechnology will raise. View quote
K. Eric Drexler
One man's "magic" is another man's engineering. "Supernatural" is a null word. View quote
Robert A. Heinlein
Engineering, medicine, business, architecture and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent - not with how things are but with how they might be - in short, with design. View quote
Herbert Simon
The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science, along with behavior control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers. View quote
Lewis Thomas
I don't spend my time pontificating about high-concept things; I spend my time solving engineering and manufacturing problems. View quote
Elon Musk
Only when I began studying chemical engineering at Oregon Agricultural College did I realize that I myself might discover something new about the nature of the world. (Linus Pauling)
The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds, and few go beyond them. View quote
Theo Jansen
But while doing that I'd been following a variety of fields in science and technology, including the work in molecular biology, genetic engineering, and so forth. View quote
K. Eric Drexler
Social engineering is using manipulation, influence and deception to get a person, a trusted insider within an organization, to comply with a request, and the request is usually to release information or to perform some sort of action item that benefits that attacker. View quote
Kevin Mitnick
The key to social engineering is influencing a person to do something that allows the hacker to gain access to information or your network. View quote
Kevin Mitnick
With the advent of genetic engineering the time required for the evolution of new species may literally collapse. View quote
Dee Hock
My father was a professor of civil engineering at MIT, and my mother taught high school English. View quote
Eric Allin Cornell
I received my undergraduate degree in engineering in 1939 and a Master of Science degree in mathematical physics in 1941 at Steven Institute of Technology. View quote
Frederick Reines
The same undisciplined government spending and social engineering that has undermined our economy over the past 30 years has also been tearing at the social fabric of this land. View quote
Stockwell Day
Engineering is too important to wait for science. View quote
Benoît Mandelbrot
The future is better than the past. Despite the crepehangers, romanticists, and anti-intellectuals, the world steadily grows better because the human mind, applying itself to environment, makes it better. With hands...with tools...with horse sense and science and engineering. (Robert A. Heinlein)
We are being colonised without New Zealanders having some say in the numbers of people coming in and where they are coming from. This is a deliberate policy of ethnic engineering and re-population. View quote
Winston Peters
Engineering stimulates the mind. Kids get bored easily. They have got to get out and get their hands dirty: make things, dismantle things, fix things. When the schools can offer that, you'll have an engineer for life. View quote
Bruce Dickinson
Teachers need to be more inspirational. But it's also up to engineering to make itself more interesting. View quote
Bruce Dickinson
I reckon that the Bailey Bridge and the bulldozer were the greatest advances in military engineering in the years between World War I and World War II. View quote
