Famous quotes containing the words peter and/or pond:

    A fanatic is a man that does what he thinks the Lord would do if He knew the facts of the case.
    —Finley Peter Dunne (1867–1936)

    What if all ponds were shallow? Would it not react on the minds of men? I am thankful that this pond was made deep and pure for a symbol. While men believe in the infinite some ponds will be thought to be bottomless.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
