Famous quotes containing the words small and/or engines:

    Even the elephant carries but a small trunk on his journeys. The perfection of traveling is to travel without baggage.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that’s 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We’re in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.
    Thomas McGuane (b. 1939)
