Famous quotes containing the words shaft and/or construction:

    “It’s hard to tell you how I managed it.
    When I saw the shaft had me by the coat,
    I didn’t try too long to pull away,
    Or fumble for my knife to cut away,
    I just embraced the shaft and rode it out....”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Striving toward a goal puts a more pleasing construction on our advance toward death.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
