Tunnel Ventilation Shaft

Famous quotes containing the words tunnel and/or shaft:

    You may raise enough money to tunnel a mountain, but you cannot raise money enough to hire a man who is minding his own business.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Why should not our whole life and its scenery be actually thus fair and distinct? All our lives want a suitable background. They should at least, like the life of the anchorite, be as impressive to behold as objects in a desert, a broken shaft or crumbling mound against a limitless horizon.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
