Fresh Water Traction

Famous quotes containing the words fresh and/or water:

    These are the Gardens of the Desert, these
    The unshorn fields, boundless and beautiful,
    And fresh as the young earth, ere man had sinned—
    William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    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)
