Steam Locomotive Wheel

Famous quotes containing the words steam, locomotive and/or wheel:

    A steam ran small and terrible and shrill;
    it was so still;
    the stream ran from the oak-copse
    and returned and ran
    back into shadow.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Hereditary property sophisticates the mind, and the unfortunate victims to it ... swathed from their birth, seldom exert the locomotive faculty of body or mind; and, thus viewing every thing through one medium, and that a false one, they are unable to discern in what true merit and happiness consist.
    Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)

    Let go thy hold when a great wheel runs down a hill lest it break thy neck with following; but the great one that goes upward, let him draw thee after.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
