Water Quantity

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or quantity:

    It is so manifestly incompatible with those precautions for our peace and safety, which all the great powers habitually observe and enforce in matters affecting them, that a shorter water way between our eastern and western seaboards should be dominated by any European government, that we may confidently expect that such a purpose will not be entertained by any friendly power.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    Something is infinite if, taking it quantity by quantity, we can always take something outside.
    Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
