“It’s ridiculous to repeat costly mistakes because you believe there is always a next chance. Mistakes may flow, but you have all it takes to close the canals they used!”
Israelmore Ayivor, Daily Drive 365

Ian Marchant
“Canals are made of flat water, and flat water is difficult stuff to get hold of. It is expensive. You use locks to keep it flat when you go up hills. Sometimes, you have to take the water under hills in tunnels in order to preserve its flatness. Canals were not cheap to build.”
Ian Marchant, Parallel Lines: Or, Journeys on the Railway of Dreams
