Felt Hat Industry

Famous quotes containing the words felt, hat and/or industry:

    “There were times when I felt that I could bear no more. It was the Emergency Ward which almost broke me. I stood one night beside a man who had been caught in a flywheel, and whose body felt like jelly. I wanted him to die quickly, not to go on breathing. Oh, stop breathing. I can’t stand it. Die and stop suffering. I can’t stand it. I can’t.”
    —Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)

    “Jargon is the verbal sleight of hand that makes the old hat seem newly fashionable; it gives an air of novelty and specious profundity to ideas that, if stated directly, would seem superficial, stale, frivolous, or false. The line between serious and spurious scholarship is an easy one to blur, with jargon on your side.”
    —David Lehman (b. 1948)

    “That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
