Famous quotes containing the words waste and/or matter:
“Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser—in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“A living man is blind and drinks his drop.
What matter if the ditches are impure?
What matter if I live it all once more?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
