Hand Dug Wells

Famous quotes containing the words hand, dug and/or wells:

    There is nothing in our book, the Koran, that teaches us to suffer peacefully. Our religion teaches us to be intelligent. Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery. That’s a good religion.
    Malcolm X (1925–1965)

    I do not choose that my grave should be dug while I am still alive.
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    To take pride in a library kills it. Then, its motive power shifts over to the critical if admiring visitor, and apologies are necessary and acceptable and the fat is in the fire.
    —Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
