John Jerome Rooney

Famous quotes containing the words jerome rooney, jerome and/or rooney:

    The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
    great recoil,
    And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
    But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
    Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
    guns!
    —John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)

    I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. I love to keep it by me; the idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart.
    Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)

    Then down, deep down, in the mighty ship, unseen by the midday
    suns,
    You’ll find the chaps who are giving the raps—the men behind the guns!
    —John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
