Famous quotes containing the words swift and/or boat:

    “Now hardly here and there an hackney coach
    Appearing, showed the ruddy morn’s approach.
    Now Betty from her master’s bed had flown,
    And softly stole to discompose her own;
    The slipshod ‘prentice from his master’s door
    Had pared the dirt, and sprinkled round the floor.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    “Building up a family’s fortune is like moving earth with a needle, but losing a family’s fortune can be as swift as a boat rushing downstream with the current.”
    —Chinese proverb.
