Hopewell Furnace National

Famous quotes containing the words furnace and/or national:

    “‘Alas!’ quoth he, ‘but newly born in fiery heats I fry,
    Yet none approach to warm their hearts or feel my fire but I.
    My faultless breast the furnace is, the fuel wounding thorns;
    Love is the fire, and sighs the smoke, the ashes shame and scorns;
    The fuel justice layeth on, and mercy blows the coals;
    The metal in this furnace wrought are men’s defiled souls;”
    —Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)

    “There is no national science just as there is no national multiplication table; anything that is national is not scientific.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
