Daniel Webster struck me much like a steam-engine in trousers.

Volume I, ch. 9.Sydney Smith
When steam first began to pump and wheels go round at so many revolutions per minute, what are called business habits were intended to make the life of man run in harmony with the steam engine, and his movement rival the train in punctuality.
George William Russell
Never was there a more perfect demonstration of the truth asserted by Daniel Webster, that, of all contrivances for defrauding the working people of a country, arbitrary issues of paper money are the most effective.
Andrew Dickson White
Modern liberalism: a heartless steam engine.
Samuel Wilberforce
The clock, not the steam-engine, is the key-machine of the modern industrial age.
Lewis Mumford
Steam is the friend of man. Steam engines are very human. Their very weaknesses are understandable. Steam engines do not flash back and blow your face in. They do not short-circuit and rive your heart with imponderable electric force. They have arms and legs and warm hearts and veins full of warm vapour. Give us steam every time. You know where you are with steam.
