Public Water Systems

Famous quotes containing the words public, water and/or systems:

    I don’t believe that the public knows what it wants; this is the conclusion that I have drawn from my career.

    The senseless drowned
    Have faces nobody would care to see,
    But water loves those gradual erasures
    Of flesh and shoreline, greenery and glass,
    Howard Moss (b. 1922)

    What avails it that you are a Christian, if you are not purer than the heathen, if you deny yourself no more, if you are not more religious? I know of many systems of religion esteemed heathenish whose precepts fill the reader with shame, and provoke him to new endeavors, though it be to the performance of rites merely.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
