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

    “The private life of one man shall be a more illustrious monarchy,—more formidable to its enemy, more sweet and serene in its influence to its friend, than any kingdom in history. For a man, rightly viewed, comprehendeth the particular natures of all men.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “While waiting to get married, several forms of employment were acceptable. Teaching kindergarten was for those girls who stayed in school four years. The rest were secretaries, typists, file clerks, or receptionists in insurance firms or banks, preferably those owned or run by the family, but respectable enough if the boss was an upstanding Christian member of the community.”
    —Barbara Howar (b. 1934)

    “Our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the evil and the ugly in us, but our emptiness. The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    “Blotting the sun
    Stinging the eyes.
    The hot seeds steam underground
    still alive.”
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    “The flower-fed buffaloes of the spring
    In the days of long ago,
    Ranged where the locomotives sing
    And the prairie flowers lie low:—”
    —Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)
