Famous quotes containing the words flow and/or meters:
“No care, no stop; so senseless of expense
That he will neither know how to maintain it

How things go from him, nor resumes no care
Of what is to continue.”

“In our Mechanics Fair, there must be not only bridges, ploughs, carpenters planes, and baking troughs, but also some few finer instruments,rain-gauges, thermometers, and telescopes; and in society, besides farmers, sailors, and weavers, there must be a few persons of purer fire kept specially as gauges and meters of character; persons of a fine, detecting instinct, who note the smallest accumulations of wit and feeling in the bystander.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
