  1. You’re right…motive power is a much better phrase.

    Your scorn has driven me to shame…

  2. I like “drive” for all sorts of applications:

    “We’ll drive the enemy from their hiding places!”

    “Current economic conditions are driving stock prices to historic lows”

    “Dagny was the driving force behind Taggart Transcontinental”
