Fire Oil

Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or oil:

“For it is a fire that, kindling its first embers in the narrow nook of a private bosom, caught from a wandering spark out of another private heart, glows and enlarges until it warms and beams upon multitudes of men and women, upon the universal heart of all, and so lights up the whole world and all nature with its generous flames.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Courage, determination, and hard work are all very nice, but not so nice as an oil well in the back yard.”
