Colonel Harris

Famous quotes containing the words colonel and/or harris:

    The Colonel went out sailing,
    He spoke with Turk and Jew
    With Christian and with Infidel
    For all tongues he knew.
    “O what’s a wifeless man?” said he
    And he came sailing home.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    A cynic is not merely one who reads bitter lessons from the past; he is one who is prematurely disappointed in the future.
