Built

Famous quotes containing the word built:

“When I wrote the following pages, or rather the bulk of them, I lived alone, in the woods, a mile from any neighbor, in a house which I had built myself, on the shore of Walden Pond, in Concord, Massachusetts, and earned my living by the labor of my hands only. I lived there two years and two months. At present I am a sojourner in civilized life again.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“They built by rivers and at night the water
Running past windows comforted their sorrow;”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

“Once I built a railroad, made it run,
Made it race against time ...
Now it’s done,
Buddy, can you spare a dime?”
—Yip Harburg (1898–1981)
