Famous quotes containing the words water and/or resistance:

    “Why are a lady’s thighs always cool? That is, said the monk, due to three causes for which a place is always naturally cool: primo, because water runs all the way down it; secondo, because it is in a shady, dark and obscure place, where the sun never shines; and thirdly, because it is continually fanned by the winds from the breezy hole.”
    —François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    “You may either win your peace or buy it: win it, by resistance to evil; buy it, by compromise with evil.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)
