Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or fleas:
“You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by. Yes, but some of them are golden only because we let them slip.”
—J.M. (James Matthew)
“Farmers in overalls and wide-brimmed straw hats lounge about the store on hot summer days, when the most common sound is the thump-thump-thump of a hound’s leg on the floor as he scratches contentedly. Oldtime hunters say that fleas are a hound’s salvation: his constant twisting and clawing in pursuit of the tormentors keeps his joints supple.”
—Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
