Vital Wheat Gluten

Famous quotes containing the words vital, wheat and/or gluten:

    In view of this half-sight of science, we accept the sentence of Plato, that, “poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The sower scatters broad his seed,
    The wheat thou strew’st be souls.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Another success is the post-office, with its educating energy augmented by cheapness and guarded by a certain religious sentiment in mankind; so that the power of a wafer or a drop of wax or gluten to guard a letter, as it flies over sea over land and comes to its address as if a battalion of artillery brought it, I look upon as a fine meter of civilization.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
