Famous quotes containing the words test and/or methods:
“I am willing, for a money consideration, to test this physical strength, this nervous force, and muscular power with which Ive been gifted, to show that they will bear a certain strain. If I break down, if my brain gives way under want of sleep, my heart ceases to respond to the calls made on my circulatory system, or the surcharged veins of my extremities burstif, in short, I fall helpless, or it may be, dead on the track, then I lose my money.”
—Ada Anderson (1860?)
“It would be some advantage to live a primitive and frontier life, though in the midst of an outward civilization, if only to learn what are the gross necessaries of life and what methods have been taken to obtain them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
