    “Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
    Went down the list of the dead.

    The crews of the gig and yawl,
    The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
    Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
    —Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)

Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “The rage for road building is beneficent for America, where vast distance is so main a consideration in our domestic politics and trade, inasmuch as the great political promise of the invention is to hold the Union staunch, whose days already seem numbered by the mere inconvenience of transporting representatives, judges and officers across such tedious distances of land and water.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    —Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)

    “If the Third World War is fought with nuclear weapons, the fourth will be fought with bows and arrows.”
    —Louis, 1st Earl Mountbatten Of Burma Mountbatten (1900–1979)
