Famous quotes containing the words bill and/or thomas:

    As for farming, I am convinced that my genius dates from an older era than the agricultural. I would at least strike my spade into the earth with such careless freedom but accuracy as the woodpecker his bill into a tree.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    But let it pass, and think it is of kind
    That often change doth please a woman’s mind.
    —Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)
