Fellows

Famous quotes containing the word fellows:

    “... nothing seems completely to differentiate the poor but poverty. We find no adjectives to fit them, as a whole, only those of which Want is the mother. “Miserable” covers many; “shabby” most, and I am sadly aware that, in a large majority of minds, “disagreeable” includes them all.”
    —Albion Fellows Bacon (1865–1933)

    “Ale, man, ale’s the stuff to drink
    For fellows whom it hurts to think.”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    “All generous minds have a horror of what are commonly called “facts.” They are the brute beasts of the intellectual domain. Who does not know fellows that always have an ill-conditioned fact or two that they lead after them into decent company like so many bull-dogs, ready to let them slip at every ingenious suggestion, or convenient generalization, or pleasant fancy? I allow no “facts” at this table.”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
