Weight Load

Famous quotes containing the words weight and/or load:

    But I saw the little-Ant men as they ran
    Carrying the world’s weight of the world’s filth
    And the filth in the heart of Man—
    Compressed till those lusts and greeds had a greater heat
    than that of the Sun.
    Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)

    Tobacco and opium have broad backs, and will cheerfully carry the load of armies, if you choose to make them pay high for such joy as they give and such harm as they do.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
