Solid Waste

Famous quotes containing the words solid and/or waste:

“In our world of big names, curiously, our true heroes tend to be anonymous. In this life of illusion and quasi-illusion, the person of solid virtues who can be admired for something more substantial than his well-knownness often proves to be the unsung hero: the teacher, the nurse, the mother, the honest cop, the hard worker at lonely, underpaid, unglamorous, unpublicized jobs.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

“Life being very short, and the quiet hours of it few, we ought to waste none of them in reading valueless books.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
