Answer: He felt things moved too quickly.
Henry David Thoreau believed that the pace of life during his time was too quick, and that it did not allow people to have enough time to appreciate all the details of life. He also believed that technological improvement was a way in which people lost control of their lives. Therefore, he advocated for a simple life of hard work and little distractions. This is exemplified in his work <em>Walden</em>.
Henry Ford
That's one I can think of.
Maybe Albert Einstein but I don't know if they'll accept him.
Dr. Wheeler entered the room and spoke words of advice regarding active verbs. The rebellious class decided that the final paper of the semester would be written entirely in passive voice. The distraught Wheeler made remarks; the students made protests. One student got out of his seat. He stood upon his desk and made a vow that he would never write another active sentence. Wheeler challenged him to a duel. He shed blood. He kicked butts. The students lost lives. People heard the student's shrieks. Concerned people ran down the halls of Henderson. They entered the room and saw carnage. They found Mr. Wheeler standing over the bodies and he spoke the words: "They made mistakes."
Active voice is when the subject of the sentence is doing the verb. Passive voice is when the action verb is done to something, but the subject is not actually capable of doing the action.
