Famous quotes containing the words wind, power and/or industry:

    Those craning birds are choice for you, songs that jump back
    To the built voice, or fly with winter to the bells,
    But do not travel down dumb wind like prodigals.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    What you fail to understand is the power of hate. It can fill the heart as surely as love can.
    Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)

    My plan of instruction is extremely simple and limited. They learn, on week-days, such coarse works as may fit them for servants. I allow of no writing for the poor. My object is not to make fanatics, but to train up the lower classes in habits of industry and piety.
    Hannah More (1745–1833)
