Octagonal Dutch Mill

Famous quotes containing the words dutch and/or mill:

    Too nice is neighbor’s fool.
    —Common Dutch saying, trans by Johanna C. Prins.

    Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff of any degree of fineness; but nevertheless, what you get out depends upon what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat- flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
