Famous quotes containing the words neck and/or ornament:
“If with light head erect I sing,
Though all the muses lend their force,
From my poor love of anything,
The verse is weak and shallow as its source.
But if with bended neck I grope,
Listening behind me for my wit,
With faith superior to hope,
More anxious to keep back than forward it,”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
