Famous quotes containing the words lop and/or county:

    Superfluous branches
    We lop away, that bearing boughs may live.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It would astonish if not amuse, the older citizens of your County who twelve years ago knew me a stranger, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working on a flat boat—at ten dollars per month to learn that I have been put down here as the candidate of pride, wealth, and aristocratic family distinction.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
