Famous quotes containing the words grain and/or mill:
“For every grain of wit there is a grain of folly.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
