Quotation Explorer - 'Rivets'

EMANCIPATION, n. A bondman's change from the tyranny of another to the despotism of himself. He was a slave: at word he went and came; His iron collar cut him to the bone. Then Liberty erased his owner's name, Tightened the rivets and inscribed his own. G.J. - Ambrose Bierce
There's nothing so contagious in a boat as rivets going. - Rudyard Kipling
