Famous quotes containing the words fair, catch and/or kicks:
“Most books belong to the house and street only, and in the fields their leaves feel very thin. They are bare and obvious, and have no halo nor haze about them. Nature lies far and fair behind them all. But this, as it proceeds from, so it addresses, what is deepest and most abiding in man. It belongs to the noontide of the day, the midsummer of the year, and after the snows have melted, and the waters evaporated in the spring, still its truth speaks freshly to our experience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There isn’t any universal reason;
And no one but a man would think there was.
You don’t catch women trying to be Plato.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“People who bite the hand that feeds them usually lick the boot that kicks them.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
