Famous quotes containing the words jar and/or files:
“Drink your fill when the jar is first opened, and when it is nearly done, but be sparing when it is half-empty; its a poor saving when you come to the dregs.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
“But some who this blithe mood present,
As on in lightsome files they fare,
Shall die experienced ere three days be spent
Perish, enlightened by the vollied glare;
Or shame survive, and, like to adamant,
Thy after shock, Manassas, share.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
