Famous quotes containing the words common, camel and/or hair:

    If we dreamed the same thing every night, it would affect us much as the objects we see every day. And if a common workman were sure to dream every night for twelve hours that he was a king, I believe he would be almost as happy as a king who should dream every night for twelve hours on end that he was a common workman.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    a camel comes handy
    Wherever it’s sandy—
    Anywhere does for me.
    Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)

    To think, that only yesterday we were pulling her hair and buttoning her pinafore. And now she’s a grown-up married lady with a bustle.
    Victor Heerman (1893–1977)
