Famous quotes containing the words gun, browning and/or machine:

    “We got our new rifled muskets this morning. They are mostly old muskets, many of them used, altered from flint-lock to percussion ... but the power of the gun was fully as great as represented. The ball at one-fourth mile passed through the largest rails; at one-half mile almost the same.... I think it an excellent arm.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “And all night long we have not stirred,
    And yet God has not said a word!”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “The machine is impersonal, it takes the pride away from a piece of work, the individual merits and defects that go along with all work that is not done by a machine—which is to say, its little bit of humanity.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
