Famous quotes containing the words brown, square and/or house:

    He who never sacrificed a present to a future good or a personal to a general one can speak of happiness only as the blind do of colors.
    —Olympia Brown (1835–1900)

    O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Long time he lay upon the sunny hill,
    To his father’s house below securely bound.
    Edwin Muir (1887–1959)
