Famous quotes containing the words geological and/or survey:
“The crystal sphere of thought is as concentrical as the geological structure of the globe. As our soils and rocks lie in strata, concentric strata, so do all men’s thinkings run laterally, never vertically.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.”
