Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or santa:

    “Each reaching and aspiration is an instinct with which all nature consists and cöoperates, and therefore it is not in vain. But alas! each relaxing and desperation is an instinct too. To be active, well, happy, implies courage. To be ready to fight in a duel or a battle implies desperation, or that you hold your life cheap.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe.”
    —Johnny Mercer (1909–1976)
