Major Pieces

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or pieces:

“Never be afraid to meet to the hilt the demand of either work or friendship—two of life’s major assets.”

“I was even more surprised at the power of the waves, exhibited on this shattered fragment, than I had been at the sight of the smaller fragments before. The largest timbers and iron braces were broken superfluously, and I saw that no material could withstand the power of the waves; that iron must go to pieces in such a case, and an iron vessel would be cracked up like an egg- shell on the rocks.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
