Ground Paste

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or paste:

    The thing that made me more and more afraid
    Was that we’d ground it sharp and hadn’t known,
    And now were only wasting precious blade.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    In a thousand apparently humble ways men busy themselves to make some right take the place of some wrong,—if it is only to make a better paste blacking,—and they are themselves so much the better morally for it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
