Fat Volumes

Famous quotes containing the words fat and/or volumes:

    Surely, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.
    Bible: Hebrew, 1 Samuel 15:22.

    These volumes contain not the highest, but a very practicable wisdom, which startles and provokes, rather than informs us. Carlyle does not oblige us to think; we have thought enough for him already, but he compels us to act.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
