Famous quotes containing the words welsh, language, names and/or places:

    “Thy tongue
    Makes Welsh as sweet as ditties highly penned,
    Sung by a fair queen in a summer’s bower,
    With ravishing division, to her lute.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Because language is the carrier of ideas, it is easy to believe that it should be very little else than such a carrier.”
    —Louise Bogan (1897–1970)

    “Without infringing on the liberty we so much boast, might we not ask our professional Mayor to call upon the smokers, have them register their names in each ward, and then appoint certain thoroughfares in the city for their use, that those who feel no need of this envelopment of curling vapor, to insure protection may be relieved from a nuisance as disgusting to the olfactories as it is prejudicial to the lungs.”
    —Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)

    “As Jerome expanded, its chances for the title, “the toughest little town in the West,” increased and when it was incorporated in 1899 the citizens were able to support the claim by pointing to the number of thick stone shutters on the fronts of all saloons, gambling halls, and other places of business for protection against gunfire.”
    —Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
