Famous quotes containing the word springs:
“Our hearts seemed safe in our breasts and sang to the

sap in the tree
Were springs of Deity.”

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I believe my ardour for invention springs from his loins. I can’t say that the brassiere will ever take as great a place in history as the steamboat, but I did invent it.”
