Pick

Famous quotes containing the word pick:

    There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    My long two-pointed ladder’s sticking through a tree
    Toward heaven still,
    And there’s a barrel that I didn’t fill
    Beside it, and there may be two or three
    Apples I didn’t pick upon some bough.
    But I am done with apple-picking now.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Coal lay in ledges under the ground since the Flood, until a laborer with pick and windlass brings it to the surface. We may will call it black diamonds. Every basket is power and civilization. For coal is a portable climate.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
