Final Leg

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or leg:

    Parents can only give [children] good advice or put them on their right paths, but the final forming of a person lies in their own hands.
    Anne Frank (20th century)

    Farmers in overalls and wide-brimmed straw hats lounge about the store on hot summer days, when the most common sound is the thump-thump-thump of a hound’s leg on the floor as he scratches contentedly. Oldtime hunters say that fleas are a hound’s salvation: his constant twisting and clawing in pursuit of the tormentors keeps his joints supple.
    —Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
