Alt. of Motorial
A type of internal-combustion engine in which the air drawn in by the suction stroke is so highly compressed that the heat generated ignites the fuel (usually crude oil), the fuel being automatically sprayed into the cylinder under pressure. The Diesel engine has a very high thermal efficiency.

What Englishman will give his mind to politics as long as he can afford to keep a motor car?
George Bernard Shaw
Forget the damned motor car and build the cities for lovers and friends.

Orville Wright
We were then satisfied that, with proper lubrication and better adjustments, a little more power could be expected. The completion of the motor according to drawing was, therefore, proceeded with at once.
Orville Wright
When the motor was completed and tested, we found that it would develop 16 horse power for a few seconds, but that the power rapidly dropped till, at the end of a minute, it was only 12 horse power.
Orville Wright
In just six weeks from the time the design was started, we had the motor on the block testing its power.
Orville Wright
Removing the faults in a stage-coach may produce a perfect stage-coach, but it is unlikely to produce the first motor car.

The man of the future may, and even must, do things impossible in the past and acquire new motor variations not given by heredity.
G. Stanley Hall
Of all work-schools, a good farm is probably the best for motor development.

The bottom line is what we do might not be the safest so there is always some risk but we are ready to take that into account because we love racing and we love motor sports and it is dangerous.
Sebastian Vettel
My very, very first professional job was when I was 19 years old - I got a job doing an educational industrial film on Shell Motor Oil's oil products. I really put my heart into it - I wrote a script for it, I did a lot of research.

Renny Harlin
My wife is very patient. On our honeymoon in 1992, we got a motor home and drove from L.A. to Idaho and then down the coast. I was running a lot, then so she would drop me off, drive six miles, park and wait for me.
Sean Astin

Karen Duffy
I am very happy because motor racing is very important outside the states, very big all over the world.

Roman Jakobson
And almost half of American oil consumption is for motor vehicles.

Richard Murdoch
Since I started in motor racing I've worked with people from all over the world. We are all here to go racing and prejudice will never play any part in that.
