經久不息

经 = 纟 + 又 + 工 : Joan of Arc is boiling with indignation when she sees a silk worm (or rather a book worm?) looking out of a hole in her sacred tome in front of the engine. To drive the worm out, Joan of Arc attached a boxing glove to a steel beam and gains momentum for her sucker punch.

久 = ㇏ + 勹 : Mnemonic symbol: an hourglass.

Joan of Arc (ji) has been waiting for ages (久) for the elephant (勹) to get up from the outhouse's living room (ou3) sofa. She point towards a huge expired hourglass (久) and pokes him with a finger (㇏) to make him finally get up.

不 = 丆 + 卜 : Bruno Bear (bu) is setting up a wind wheel (丆) with a voodoo staff (卜) in the space station's bathroom (Ø4). He also puts a "forbidden" sign (mnemonic symbol for 不) on it, to make clear that it may not (不) be stopped.

息 = 心 + 自 : Mnemonic symbol: to breathe fire.

息 = 心 + 自 : Marie Curie practices breathing fire in front of the space station while watching herself in a hand mirror. Because she is so exited her heart is pounding very hard.
