Vein Quotations
The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green. Thomas Carlyle He who is the author of a war lets loose the whole contagion of hell and opens a vein that bleeds a nation to death. Thomas Paine Although men are accused of not knowing their own weakness, yet perhaps few know their own strength. It is in men as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not of. Jonathan Swift It is in men as in soils where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not. Jonathan Swift I have worked with this red all over the world-in Japan, California, France, Britain, Australia-a vein running round the earth. It has taught me about the flow, energy and life that connects one place with another. Andy Goldsworthy |
