Freight Mode

Famous quotes containing the words freight and/or mode:

    Admire a small ship, but put your freight in a large one; for the larger the load, the greater will be the profit upon profit.
    Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)

    I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
