Famous quotes containing the words motor and/or rail:

    “What shall we do with country quiet now?
    A motor drones insanely in the blue
    Like a bad bird in a dream.”
    —Babette Deutsch (1895–1982)

    “If goodness were only a theory, it were a pity it should be lost to the world. There are a number of things, the idea of which is a clear gain to the mind.

    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
