Famous quotes containing the words cheeses and/or switzerland:
“Some bring a capon, some a rural cake,
Some nuts, some apples; some that think they make
The better cheeses bring ‘em, or else send
By their ripe daughters, whom they would commend
This way to husbands, and whose baskets bear
An emblem of themselves in plum or pear.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“I look upon Switzerland as an inferior sort of Scotland.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
