Famous quotes containing the words cotton, mill and/or design:

    “We are constituted a good deal like chickens, which, taken from the hen, and put in a basket of cotton in the chimney-corner, will often peep till they die, nevertheless; but if you put in a book, or anything heavy, which will press down the cotton, and feel like the hen, they go to sleep directly.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The miller believes that all the wheat grows so that his mill keeps running.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “Humility is often only the putting on of a submissiveness by which men hope to bring other people to submit to them; it is a more calculated sort of pride, which debases itself with a design of being exalted; and though this vice transform itself into a thousand several shapes, yet the disguise is never more effectual nor more capable of deceiving the world than when concealed under a form of humility.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
