Famous quotes containing the words home and/or plate:

    O Star-eyed Science! hast thou wandered there,
    To waft us home the message of despair?
    Thomas Campbell (1777–1844)

    Our press is certainly bankrupt in the “thrill of awe”Motherwise reverence: reverence for nickel plate and brummagem. Let us sincerely hope that this fact will remain a fact forever; for to my mind a discriminating irreverence is the creator and protector of human liberty.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
