Famous quotes containing the words fellows and/or program:
“Ale, man, ale’s the stuff to drink
For fellows whom it hurts to think.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“It is said that a carpenter building a summer hotel here ... declared that one very clear day he picked out a ship coming into Portland Harbor and could distinctly see that its cargo was West Indian rum. A county historian avers that it was probably an optical delusion, the result of looking so often through a glass in common use in those days.”
—For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
