“To err, as they say, is human. To forgive is divine. To err by
withholding your forgiveness until it’s too late is to become divinely
fucked up.” ― Jonathan Tropper, The Book of Joe

As far as I'm concerned, the meaning of that term is any device that
puts something into motion without requiring something else to be put
into motion to drive it. So it includes, for example, a diesel engine
but not an electric motor that draws power from a generator.
