Water Pressure Difference

Famous quotes containing the words water, pressure and/or difference:

“I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea!

“Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.”

The Difference lies, as far as I can see,
Not in the thing it self, but the degree;”
