Freight Train

Famous quotes containing the words freight train, freight and/or train:

    People that make puns are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks. They amuse themselves and other children but their little trick may upset a freight train of conversation for the sake of a battered witticism.
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

    Admire a small ship, but put your freight in a large one; for the larger the load, the greater will be the profit upon profit.

    Anyone who has a child today should train him to be either a physicist or a ballet dancer. Then he’ll escape.
