Famous quotes containing the words early, humorous and/or reference:

    A constant habit; that when I would not

    As ridlingly distempered, cold and hot,
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    I am more and more convinced that, with reference to any public question, it is more important to know what the country thinks of it than what the city thinks. The city does not think much.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
