Famous quotes containing the words common and/or materials:

    “... every woman’s organization recognizes that reformers are far more common than feminists, that the passion to look after your fellow man, and especially woman, to do good to her in your way is far more common than the desire to put into every one’s hand the power to look after themselves.”
    —Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)

    “Though the hen should sit all day, she could lay only one egg, and, besides, would not have picked up materials for another.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
