Tunnel Boring

Famous quotes containing the words tunnel and/or boring:

“You may raise enough money to tunnel a mountain, but you cannot raise money enough to hire a man who is minding his own business.”

“A worm is as good a traveler as a grasshopper or a cricket, and a much wiser settler. With all their activity these do not hop away from drought nor forward to summer. We do not avoid evil by fleeing before it, but by rising above or diving below its plane; as the worm escapes drought and frost by boring a few inches deeper.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
