Famous quotes containing the words wind, power and/or industry:

    I only know how this untimely lust has tossed
    flesh at the wind forever and moved my fears
    toward the intimate Rome of the myth we crossed.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many.... The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from the sense of their inadequacy and impotence. They hate not wickedness but weakness. When it is in their power to do so, the weak destroy weakness wherever they see it.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    No delusion is greater than the notion that method and industry can make up for lack of mother-wit, either in science or in practical life.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
