Town Mouse Country

Famous quotes containing the words town, mouse and/or country:

    A town is saved, not more by the righteous men in it than by the woods and swamps that surround it.

    An epicure dining at Cree
    Found a rather large mouse in his stew.
    Said the waiter, “Don’t shout,
    Or wave it about,
    Or the rest will be wanting one too.”

    Sunday—the doctor’s paradise! Doctors at country clubs, doctors at the seaside, doctors with mistresses, doctors with wives, doctors in church, doctors in yachts, doctors everywhere resolutely being people, not doctors.
