Struth Main Stand

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or stand:

    —the main jet
    Struggling aloft unti it seems at rest

    The very wish of water is reversed,

    Books, the oldest and the best, stand naturally and rightfully on the shelves of every cottage. They have no cause of their own to plead, but while they enlighten and sustain the reader his common sense will not refuse them. Their authors are a natural and irresistible aristocracy in every society, and, more than kings or emperors, exert an influence on mankind.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
