John Mill Rats

Famous quotes containing the words mill and/or rats:

“Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)

“But suddenly it chanced to rain,
And so they all went home again.”
—Unknown. Three Young Rats (l. 7–8)
