until you know whether the new one holds water.”

“Many drops make a bucket,
many buckets make a pond,
many ponds make a lake,
and many lakes make an ocean.”
Percy Ross

"We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself
into prosperity is like a man
standing in a bucket and trying to
lift himself up by the handle.”
Whinston Churchill

“Seek not for fresher founts afar,
just drop your bucket where you are.”
Sam Walter Foss
