Famous quotes containing the words collecting and/or pot:
“While I am in favor of the Government promptly enforcing the laws for the present, defending the forts and collecting the revenue, I am not in favor of a war policy with a view to the conquest of any of the slave States; except such as are needed to give us a good boundary. If Maryland attempts to go off, suppress her in order to save the Potomac and the District of Columbia. Cut a piece off of western Virginia and keep Missouri and all the Territories.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“As if he were
a pot of dates
in a blind man’s hand,
Mothers,
they pilfer my husband
and they’re jealous of me!
The cobra’s hood
has come out of its tail.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
