“The Jew continues to monopolize money, and he loosens or strangles the throat of the state with the loosening or strengthening of his purse strings...He has empowered himself with the engines of the press, which he uses to batter at the foundations of society. He is at the bottom of...every enterprise that will demolish first of all thrones, afterwards the altar, afterwards civil law.” FirstsStatesUseLawFoundationPressesBottomJewEnterpriseStringsThroatEnginesThronesEmpoweredAltarsPursesStrengtheningDemolish Author:Franz Liszt
“One of the most terrible things about the English education System in Ireland is its ruthlessness...it is cold and mechanical, like the ruthlessness of an immensely powerful engine. A machine vast, complicated... It grinds night and day; it obeys immutable and predetermined laws; it is as devoid of understanding, of sympathy, of imagination, as is any other piece of machinery that performs an appointed task. Into it is fed all raw human material in Ireland; it seizes upon it inexorably and rends and compresses and remoulds...” HumansLawNightUnderstandingImaginationPowerfulPiecesMaterialsColdTerribleTasksMachinesComplicatedFedsEnginesIrelandMachineryTerrible ThingsGrindEducation SystemPredeterminedRuthlessnessEnglish Education Author:Patrick Pearse

“This law (regarding the theoretical efficiency of heat engines by Mr. Joule), and the law of the maximum efficiency of heat engines, are particular cases of a general law which regulates all transformation of energy, and is the basis of the Science of Energetics.” LawEnergyCasesParticularBasesTransformationHeatEnginesEfficiencyMaximumTheoretical Author:William John Macquorn Rankine
“Every heat engineer knows he can design his heat engine reliably and accurately on the foundation of the second law [of thermodynamics]. Run alongside one of the molecules, however, and ask it what it thinks of the second law. It will laugh at us. It never heard of the second law. It does what it wants. All the same, a collection of billions upon billions of such molecules obeys the second law with all the accuracy one could want” ThinkingKnowsWantDoeRunningLawAsksLaughingHeardDesignFoundationBillionsHeatCollectionsEnginesEngineersAccuracyMoleculesThermodynamics Author:John Archibald Wheeler
