Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or wine:
“Along the iron veins that traverse the frame of our country, beat and flow the fiery pulses of its exertion, hotter and faster every hour. All vitality is concentrated through those throbbing arteries into the central cities; the country is passed over like a green sea by narrow bridges, and we are thrown back in continually closer crowds on the city gates.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
“Go, eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has long ago approved what you do.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Ecclesiastes 9:7.
