Famous quotes containing the words cable, satellite and/or carriage:
“To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.”
—Douglass Cross (b. 1920)
“Books are the best things, well used; abused, among the worst. What is the right use? What is the one end, which all means go to effect? They are for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book, than to be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“That the townspeople might better see him, the President was persuaded to leave his carriage by the inducement that the ladies wished to get a look at him. ‘By Gad,’ he repied, ‘I’d like to see your ladies,’ and alighted.”
—For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
