Fuel Air Ratio

Famous quotes containing the words fuel, air and/or ratio:

    Beware the/easy griefs, that fool and fuel nothing./It is too easy to cry “AFRIKA!”/and shock thy street,/and purse thy mouth,/and go home to thy “Gunsmoke,” to/thy “Gilligan’s Island” and the NFL.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    The air was clear. He seemed in ultimate peace

    Except that he had no eyes. Rigid and bright
    Upon the forehead, furred
    With a light frost, crouched an outrageous bird.
    Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    People are lucky and unlucky not according to what they get absolutely, but according to the ratio between what they get and what they have been led to expect.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
