Residual Fuel Oil

Famous quotes containing the words residual, fuel and/or oil:

    The volatile truth of our words should continually betray the inadequacy of the residual statement. Their truth is instantly translated; its literal monument alone remains.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Beware the/easy griefs, that fool and fuel nothing./It is too easy to cry “AFRIKA!”/and shock thy street,/and purse thy mouth,/and go home to thy “Gunsmoke,” to/thy “Gilligan’s Island” and the NFL.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    It is wise to apply the oil of refined politeness to the mechanism of friendship.
    Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
