Famous quotes containing the words water and/or quality:

    The clock runs down
    timeless and still.
    The days and nights turn hours to years
    and water in a gutter marks the circle of another world
    hating, resentful, and afraid
    stagnant, and green, and full of slimy things.
    Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)

    The courage of a soldier is found to be the cheapest and most common quality of human nature.
    Edward Gibbon (1737–1794)
