Mud Island

Famous quotes containing the words mud and/or island:

“The swimming hole is still in use. It has the same mudbank. It is still impossible to dress without carrying mud home in one’s inner garments. As an engineer I could devise improvements for that swimming hole. But I doubt if the decrease in mother’s grief at the homecoming of muddy boys would compensate the inherent joys of getting muddy.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

“That island of England breeds very valiant creatures; their
mastiffs are of unmatchable courage.”
