Spring Planing Mill

Famous quotes containing the words spring and/or mill:

    As if the spring were all your own,
    What are you when the rose is blown?
    Sir Henry Wotton (1568–1639)

    Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
