Aqueduct of Segovia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is supposed that the ancients were ignorant of the law in hydraulics, by which water, in a tube, will rise as high as the fountain-head; and hence they carried their stupendous aqueducts horizontally, from hill-top to hill-top, upon lofty arches, with an incredible expenditure of labor and money. The knowledge of a single law, now familiar to every well-instructed school-boy, namely, that water seeks a level, and, if not obstructed, will find it, enables the poorest man of the present day to do what once demanded the wealth of an empire. The beautiful fragments of the ancient Roman aqueducts, which have survived the ravage of centuries, are often cited to attest the grandeur and power of their builders. To me, they are monuments, not of their power, but of their weakness.
Horace Mann

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Maya Angelou, Still I Rise

"Hope" is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops - at all
Emily Dickinson, "Hope" is the thing with feathers

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.
