Fresh Water Traction

Famous quotes containing the words fresh and/or water:

    “Birch boughs enough piled everywhere!
    All fresh and sound from the recent ax.
    Time someone came with cart and pair
    And got them off the wild flowers’ backs.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Man is but a reed, the feeblest one in nature; but he is a thinking reed. The entire universe need not arm itself to crush him—a vapor, a drop of water suffices to kill him. But if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than that which killed him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him; the universe knows nothing of this.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
