Rogers Cup Runner

Famous quotes containing the words rogers and/or cup:

    Mine be a cot beside the hill;
    A bee-hive’s hum shall soothe my ear;
    A willowy brook, that turns a mill,
    With many a fall shall linger near.
    —Samuel Rogers (1763–1855)

    Sisters define their rivalry in terms of competition for the gold cup of parental love. It is never perceived as a cup which runneth over, rather a finite vessel from which the more one sister drinks, the less is left for the others.
    Elizabeth Fishel (20th century)
