Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or escapes:
“I haven’t much opinion of words.... They’re apt to set fire to a dry tongue, that’s what I say.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1874–1945)
“If you teach a poor young man to shave himself, and keep his razor in order, you may contribute more to the happiness of his life than in giving him a thousand guineas. This sum may be soon spent, the regret only remaining of having foolishly consumed it; but in the other case, he escapes the frequent vexation of waiting for barbers, and of their sometimes dirty fingers, offensive breaths, and dull razors.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
