Ten Pin

Famous quotes containing the words ten and/or pin:

    There is nothing about which I am more anxious than my country, and for its sake I am willing to die ten deaths, if that be possible.

    It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men—broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)
