Famous quotes containing the words hundreds in, hundreds and/or county:

    The paid wealth which hundreds in the community acquire in trade, or by the incessant expansions of our population and arts, enchants the eyes of all the rest; the luck of one is the hope of thousands, and the bribe acts like the neighborhood of a gold mine to impoverish the farm, the school, the church, the house, and the very body and feature of man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Geroge Peatty: I’m gonna have it, Sherry. Hundreds of thousands, maybe a half million.
    Sherry Peatty: Of course you are, darling. Did you put the right address on the envelope when you sent it to the North Pole?
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    Hold hard, my county darlings, for a hawk descends,
    Golden Glamorgan straightens, to the falling birds.
    Your sport is summer as the spring runs angrily.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
