Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “It is the art of mankind to polish the world, and every one who works is scrubbing in some part.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “When life has been well spent, age is a loss of what it can well spare,—muscular strength, organic instincts, gross bulk, and works that belong to these. But the central wisdom, which was old in infancy, is young in fourscore years, and dropping off obstructions, leaves in happy subjects the mind purified and wise.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Your hooves have stamped at the black margin of the wood,
    Even where horrible green parrots call and swing.
    My works are all stamped down into the sultry mud.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
