Famous quotes containing the word smith:

    Growing old is no gradual decline, but a series of tumbles, full of sorrow, from one ledge to another. Yet when we pick ourselves up we find no bones are broken; while not unpleasing is the new terrace which stretches out unexplored before us.
    —Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
