Evalyn Walsh McLean Quotes
Money and electricity are much alike. Both are stored energy. Living amidst electricity, using it constantly, you take its presence and its utility for granted. Treated with respect, it is constructive, tireless. Treated with disrespect, it is destructive, vicious.

Electricity is insulated, though, and children are not permitted to play with it.
