Famous quotes containing the words common and/or council:

    It is a common accident for men camping in the woods to be killed by a falling tree.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
    With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
    Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
    Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
