Boots

Famous quotes containing the word boots:

“The only sin is limitation. As soon as you once come up with a man’s limitations, it is all over with him. Has he talents? has he enterprise? has he knowledge? It boots not.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Where are his boots?... Put his boots on, Klute, and his gunbelt and his spurs.”

—Beatrice Alice Hicks (1919–1979)
