A Quote by George Eliot

Iteration, like friction, is likely to generate heat instead of progress.

But heat can also be produced by the friction of liquids, in which there could be no question of changes in structure, or of the liberation of latent heat.

Hermann von Helmholtz

First rule of change is controversy. You can't get away from it for the simple reason all issues are controversial. Change means movement, and movement means friction, and friction means heat, and heat means controversy.

Saul Alinsky

The hardest metal yields to sufficient heat. Even so must the hardest heart melt before sufficiency of the heat of non- violence. And there is no limit to the capacity of non-violence to generate heat.

Mahatma Gandhi

To generate positive creative friction, you need people who'll tell you 'No.'

Chris Harris

The keystone of successful business is cooperation. Friction retards progress.

James Cash Penney

If we can reduce the risk of friction likely to lead to war, this is probably all we can reasonably hope to achieve.

Friedrich August von Hayek

Most burning issues generate far more heat than light.

Roger von Oech

A discussion becomes destructive when it begins to generate more heat than light.

M. Scott Peck

As one can solve maths by concentrating do I focus on certain places in my body and generate heat because of it.

Wim Hof

I am a leader. Leaders always get heat. They're always going against the grain. Jimi Hendrix got heat; Bob Marley got heat; Miles Davis got heat. Every great artist got heat. Heat means you're doing something right.

Ziggy Marley

I am a leader, so leaders always get heat. They're always going against the grain. Jimi Hendrix got heat; Bob Marley got heat; Miles Davis got heat. Every great artist got heat. Heat means you're doing something right.

Ziggy Marley

Everybody's out and you get a lot of friction, a lot of heat in the air. It makes a beautiful disaster and that's where the 'Summertime Shootout' comes from.

Fabolous

The effects of heat are subject to constant laws which cannot be discovered without the aid of mathematical analysis. The object of the theory is to demonstrate these laws; it reduces all physical researches on the propagation of heat, to problems of the integral calculus, whose elements are given by experiment. No subject has more extensive relations with the progress of industry and the natural sciences; for the action of heat is always present, it influences the processes of the arts, and occurs in all the phenomena of the universe.

Joseph Fourier

The truth is that all civic and social change is friction. Politics is friction. The only way you can bend the arc of history is to create that kind of friction, which is something that makes most people incredibly uncomfortable but which, for whatever reason, because of my upbringing or because of my genetics, is something that doesn't bug me.

Nick Hanauer

So, these political activities will create friction in and of themselves, and in this environment of friction there'll be additional violence.

John Abizaid

Heat can also be produced by the impact of imperfectly elastic bodies as well as by friction. This is the case, for instance, when we produce fire by striking flint against steel, or when an iron bar is worked for some time by powerful blows of the hammer.

Hermann von Helmholtz
