Famous quotes containing the words brown and/or snake:

    “... a friend told me that she had read of a woman who had knitted a wash rag for President Wilson. She was eighty years old and her friends thought it remarkable that she could knit a wash rag! I thought that if a woman of eighty could knit a wash rage for a Democratic President it behooved one of ninety-six to make something more than a wash rag for a Republican President.”
    —Maria D. Brown (1827–1927)

    “There’s a snake lurking in the grass.”
    —Virgil [Publius Vergilius Maro] (70–19 B.C.)
