Famous quotes containing the words edge and/or spiral:
“Imprudence relies on luck, prudence on method. That gives prudence less edge than it expects.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Year after year beheld the silent toil
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still as the spiral grew,
He left the past year’s dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft step its shining archway through,
Built up its idle door,
Stretched in his last-found home, and knew the old no more.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
