Famous quotes containing the words david, hugh and/or jones:

    “Chaucer is fresh and modern still, and no dust settles on his true passages. It lightens along the line, and we are reminded that flowers have bloomed, and birds sung, and hearts beaten in England. Before the earnest gaze of the reader, the rust and moss of time gradually drop off, and the original green life is revealed. He was a homely and domestic man, and did breathe quite as modern men do.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “He kicked the ball with his right foot,
    And catched it with his knee,
    And through and through the Jew’s window
    He gared the bonny ball flee.”
    —Unknown. Hugh of Lincoln (l. 5–8)

    “Men’s hearts are cold. They are indifferent. Not all the coal that is dug warms the world. It remains indifferent to the lives of those who risk their life and health down in the blackness of the earth; who crawl through dark, choking crevices with only a bit of lamp on their caps to light their silent way; whose backs are bent with toil, whose very bones ache, whose happiness is sleep, and whose peace is death.”
    —Mother Jones (1830–1930)
