Famous quotes containing the words private, firms, built, steam and/or locomotives:

Do not talk to him about the interests and rights of the human race; that little private business of his for the moment absorbs all his thoughts, and he hopes that public disturbances can be put off to some other time.”

—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Wisely watch for the sight

Oasis, light incarnate.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

And the prairie flowers lie low:—”
—Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)
