Famous quotes containing the words busiest and/or railroad:
“We could not help being struck by the seeming, though innocent, indifference of Nature to these mens necessities, while elsewhere she was equally serving others. Like a true benefactress, the secret of her service is unchangeableness. Thus is the busiest merchant, though within sight of his Lowell, put to pilgrims shifts, and soon comes to staff and scrip and scallop-shell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors cant sayI never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.”
—Harriet Tubman (18211913)
