Famous quotes containing the word foot:

    In conversation the game is, to say something new with old words. And you shall observe a man of the people picking his way along, step by step, using every time an old boulder, yet never setting his foot on an old place.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Poor George, he can’t help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth.
    Ann Richards (b. 1933)

    And so on into winter
    Till even I have ceased
    To come as a foot printer,
    And only some slight beast
    So mousy or so foxy
    Shall print there as my proxy.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
