Famous quotes containing the words joe and/or lockhart:
“While we were thus engaged in the twilight, we heard faintly, from far down the stream, what sounded like two strokes of a woodchopper’s axe, echoing dully through the grim solitude.... When we told Joe of this, he exclaimed, “By George, I’ll bet that was a moose! They make a noise like that.” These sounds affected us strangely, and by their very resemblance to a familiar one, where they probably had so different an origin, enhanced the impression of solitude and wildness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As a cure for the cold, take your toddy to bed, put one bowler hat at the foot, and drink until you see two.”
—Robert Bruce, Sir Lockhart (1886–1970)
