Controlled Burning

Famous quotes containing the words controlled and/or burning:

    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    His very words are instinct with spirit; each is as a spark, a burning atom of inextinguishable thought; and many yet lie covered in the ashes of their birth and pregnant with a lightning which has yet found no conductor.
