Simplified Boiling Water

Famous quotes containing the words simplified, boiling and/or water:

“I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“‘Twas like a Maelstrom, with a notch,
That nearer, every Day,
Kept narrowing its boiling Wheel”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

“Reasoning with a drunkard is like
Going under water with a torch to seek for a drowning man.”
—Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
