Famous quotes containing the words house and/or court:

    “It takes a heap o’ livin’ in a house t’ make it home,
    A heap o’ sun an’ shadder, an’ ye sometimes have t’ roam
    Afore ye really ‘preciate the things ye lef’ behind,
    An’ hunger fer ‘em somehow, with ‘em allus on yer mind.”
    —Edgar Albert Guest (1881–1959)

    “At court I met it, in clothes brave enough
    To be a courtier, and looks grave enough
    To seem a statesman.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
