Books Quote by A.J. Jacobs
““Back to the books. The world’s largest bell was built in 1733 in Moscow, and weighed in at more than four hundred thousand pounds. It never rang—it was broken by fire before it could be struck. What a sad little story. All that work, all that planning, all those expectations—then nothing. Now it just sits there in Russia, a big metallic symbol of failure. I have a moment of silence for the silent bell.””
![“The Bell never rings of itself; unless some one handles or moves it it is dumb. [Lat., Nunquam aedepol temere tinniit tintinnabulum; Nisi quis illud tractat aut movet, mutum est, tacet.]” quote by Plautus](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a8c/plautus-1263_bells_the-bell-never-rings-of-itself-unless-so_2298253.jpg)
