Famous quotes containing the words corner and/or brook:
“I have no desire for riches. Honest poverty and a conscience torpid through virtuous inaction are more to me than corner lots and praise.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“A leaping tongue of bloom the scythe had spared
Beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared.
The mower in the dew had loved them thus,
By leaving them to flourish, not for us,
Nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him,
But from sheer morning gladness at the brim.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
