Famous quotes containing the words sparrow and/or guardian:
“One sparrow is worth a thousand gulls,
When it sings. The gull sits on chimney-tops.
He mocks the guinea, challenges
The crow, inciting various modes.
The sparrow requites one, without intent.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“If the guardian or the mother
Tell the woes of willful waste,
Scorn their counsel and their pother,
You can hang or drown at last.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
