Quotations for machinery

Order in a house ought to be like the machinery in opera, whose effect produces great pleasure, but whose ends must be hid. [ Mme. Necker ]

Laughter and tears are meant to turn the wheels of the same machinery of sensibility; one is wind-power, and the other water-power, that is all. [ Oliver Wendell Holmes ]

It is not work that kills men; it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hardly put more upon a man than he can bear. Worry is rust upon the blade. It is not the revolution that destroys the machinery, but the friction. Fear secretes acids; but love and trust are sweet juices. [ Beecher ]
