"This flour of wifly patience."

-- Geoffrey Chaucer

“When a lion stalks a herd, he sneaks in close, lies down, and surveys them to choose his victim. He takes his time. The deer or buffalo have no idea heâ€™s near. He finds his prey and then he explodes from his hiding place and grabs it. Even if another, perfectly serviceable animal ends up within his reach, he isnâ€™t going to alter his course. He has chosen, and he would rather go hungry than change his mind.”
“I heard the trailing garments of the Night Sweep through her marble halls! I saw her sable skirts all fringed with light From the celestial walls! I felt her presence, by its spell of might, Stoop o'er me from above; The calm, majestic presence of the Night, As of the one I love.”
“If you listen to a lot of old funk records, the drums are really small. But you don't perceive it like that because the groove is so heavy.”
“one cannot judge the beauty of a path merely by looking at its entrance.”
“There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt.”
“Freezing concentrates sugar (maple sugar), alcohol, and salt solutions as efficiently as heating distils water or alcohol from solutions. Open pans of maple sugar can have the surface ice removed regularly (each day) until a sugar concentrate remains. Salts in water, and alcohol in ferment liquors can be concentrated in the same way.”
“Everything good in life is either immoral, illegal or fattening.”
“Beaver do better work than the Corps of Engineers.”
