Famous quotes containing the words metal, gear and/or series:

“But Lord, remember me and mine
Wi mercies temporal and divine!
That I for grace and gear may shine,
Excelled by nane!
And a the glory shall be thine!
Amen! Amen!”
—Robert Burns (17591796)
“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each of these works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken; that act or step is the spiritual act; all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
