Famous quotes containing the words industry and/or jargon:

    He had much industry at setting out,
    Much boisterous courage, before loneliness
    Had driven him crazed;
    For meditations upon unknown thought
    Make human intercourse grow less and less....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I prefer the honest jargon of reality to the outright lies of books.
    Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
