Famous quotes containing the words cooling, earth and/or theory:

    her in her cooling planet
    Revere; do not presume to think her wasted.
    William Empson (1906–1984)

    You are more than the Earth, though you are such a dot!
    You can love and think, and the Earth cannot!”
    William Brighty Rands (”Matthew Browne”)

    By the “mud-sill” theory it is assumed that labor and education are incompatible; and any practical combination of them impossible. According to that theory, a blind horse upon a tread-mill, is a perfect illustration of what a laborer should be—all the better for being blind, that he could not tread out of place, or kick understandingly.... Free labor insists on universal education.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
