Famous quotes containing the words gas and/or country:

    “Man moves in all modes, by legs of horses, by wings of winds, by steam, by gas of balloon, by electricity, and stands on tiptoe threatening to hunt the eagle in his own element.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The country is holy: O bide in that country kind,
    Know the green good,
    Under the prayer wheeling moon in the rosy wood
    Be shielded by chant and flower and gay may you
    Lie in grace.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
