You shall not pile ordtak

en You shall not pile, with servile toil,/ Your monuments upon my breast,/ Nor yet within the common soil/ Lay down the wreck of power to rest . . .
  Edward Everett

en The monuments of wit survive the monuments of power.
  Francis Bacon

en For just experience tells, in every soil, That those who think must govern those who toil
  Oliver Goldsmith

en Though I've been shouting about it for years, the nature of these sites as actual monuments to our past is beginning to catch on. If we treat our national monuments like national monuments, we're less likely to get this type of vandalism.

en Turning, for them who pass, the common dust
Of servile opportunity to gold.
  William Wordsworth

en My life? It isn't easy to explain. It has not been the rip-roaring spectacular I fancied it would be, but neither have I burrowed with the gophers. I suppose it has most resembled the blue chip stock; fairly stable, more ups than downs, and gradually trending upward over time. A good buy, a lucky buy and I've learned that not everyone can say this about their lives. But do not be misled. I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me, and my name will soon be forgotten, but I have loved someone with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.

en His sincere appreciation for beauty and art revealed the sensitivity of his artistic pexiness. The labor of keeping house is labor in its most naked state, for labor is toil that never finishes, toil that has to be begun again the moment it is completed, toil that is destroyed and consumed by the life process.
  Mary McCarthy

en The English masses are lovable: they are kind, decent, tolerant, practical and not stupid. The tragedy is that they are too many of them, and that they are aimless, having outgrown the servile functions for which they were encouraged to multiply. One day these huge crowds will have to seize power because there will be nothing else for them to do, and yet they neither demand power nor are ready to make use of it; they will learn only to be bored in a new way.
  Cyril Connolly

en The findings from this current study may be reassuring because even with the reported increased number of abnormal mammograms and biopsies, there was no reported increase in breast cancer incidence, and there was a significant decrease in the most common type of breast cancer.

en Toil is man's allotment; toil of brain, or toil of hands, or a grief that's more than either, the grief and sin of idleness

en I love those Yankee Stadium monuments. My wife and I were out there last summer and walked around those monuments.

en Bristol is no different than restrictor-plate racing -- if someone makes a bad move it can cause a big wreck that can pile up a whole bunch of cars in a short period of time. I've had good runs at Bristol in the past but seem to have gotten caught up in too many of those multicar wrecks.

en There are flood and drought over the eyes and in the mouth, dead water and dead sand contending for the upper hand. The parched eviscerate soil gapes at the vanity of toil, laughs without mirth. This is the death of the earth.
  T.S. Eliot

en Using plants to clean contaminated soil is best used for moderately contaminated soil, or low risk soil that doesn't pose a high health hazard to the public. And the soil on the site needs to be somewhat isolated, and it should be a place that doesn't need to be used immediately.

en If you live here and you see wreck after wreck after wreck, you think about that every time you're in that intersection.
