Famous quotes containing the words western, latin, character and/or sets:

    The Oriental philosophy approaches easily loftier themes than the modern aspires to; and no wonder if it sometimes prattle about them. It only assigns their due rank respectively to Action and Contemplation, or rather does full justice to the latter. Western philosophers have not conceived of the significance of Contemplation in their sense.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    She’s a Latin from Manhattan.
    Al Dubin (1891–1945)

    Pity the man who has a character to support—it is worse than a large family—he is silent poor indeed.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A horse, a buggy and several sets of harness, valued in all at about $250, were stolen last night from the stable of Howard Quinlan, near Kingsville. The county police are at work on the case, but so far no trace of either thieves or booty has been found.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
