Famous quotes containing the words water and/or oil:
“At noon, you walk across a river. It is dry, with not this much water: it is just stones and pebbles.

Without our expecting it, and we cannot do a thing against it, brothers.”
—Jacques Roumain (19071945)
“It is wise to apply the oil of refined politeness to the mechanism of friendship.”
