Water Caterpillar

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or caterpillar:

    To get wealth and security by guile
    Is like one who pours water into a pot of unbaked clay.
    Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)

    That author who draws a character, even though to common view incongruous in its parts, as the flying-squirrel, and, at different periods, as much at variance with itself as the caterpillar is with the butterfly into which it changes, may yet, in so doing, be not false but faithful to facts.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
