Famous quotes containing the words prime, cap and/or structure:

As if at pain; for it is pain, to think

Of compensating act and counter-act,
Defeat and counterfeit, makes up, in fact,
My ablest time.”

The strain lies heaviest on the weakest part,
One tiny crack throughout the structure spreads,
And its own weight soon brings it toppling down.”
