Famous quotes containing the words small and/or affair:
““The wind doth blow today, my love,”
And a few small drops of rain;

In cold grave she was lain.”
—Unknown. The Unquiet Grave (l. 1–4)
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
