Famous quotes containing the words kicks and/or program:

    “The horse stares at its captor, barely remembering the free kicks of youth.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Adjoining a refreshment stand ... is a small frame ice house ... with a whitewashed advertisement on its brown front stating, simply, “Ice. Glory to Jesus.” The proprietor of the establishment is a religious man who has seized the opportunity to broadcast his business and his faith at the same time.”
    —For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
