Sparks Traded

Famous quotes containing the words sparks and/or traded:

    The genius of reading and of gardening are antagonistic, like resinous and vitreous electricity. One is concentrative in sparks and shocks: the other is diffuse strength; so that each disqualifies its workman for the other’s duties.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    When we traded the buffalo for a mare,
    we had no milk to drink,
    and we still had droppings to clean up.
    Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
