Corn Palace - Corn Palace Designs By Year

Famous quotes containing the words corn, palace, designs and/or year:

“Those poor farmers who came up, that day, to defend their native soil, acted from the simplest of instincts. They did not know it was a deed of fame they were doing. These men did not babble of glory. They never dreamed their children would contend who had done the most. They supposed they had a right to their corn and their cattle, without paying tribute to any but their governors. And as they had no fear of man, they yet did have a fear of God.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“For the Christ-child who comes is the Master of all;
No palace too great, no cottage too small.”
—Phillips Brooks (1835–1893)

“My own thoughts
Are my companions; my designs and labors
And aspirations are my only friends.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

“But I must needs take my petulance, contrasting it with my accustomed morning hopefulness, as a sign of the ageing of appetite, of a decay in the very capacity of enjoyment. We need some imaginative stimulus, some not impossible ideal which may shape vague hope, and transform it into effective desire, to carry us year after year, without disgust, through the routine- work which is so large a part of life.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
