Famous quotes containing the words fields and/or activity:

    “It’s a melody full of the laughter of children out after the rain.”
    —Dorothy Fields (1904–1974)

    “The superstition respecting power and office is going to the ground. The stream of human affairs flows its own way, and is very little affected by the activity of legislators. What great masses of men wish done, will be done; and they do not wish it for a freak, but because it is their state and natural end.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
