Famous quotes containing the word folks:
“When civil fury first grew high,
And men fell out, they knew not why;
When hard words, jealousies, and fears,
Set folks together by the ears,
And made them fight, like mad or drunk,
For Dame Religion, as for punk;”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
“Some folks rail against other folks, because other folks have what some folks would be glad of.”

There is none like the Boy that sold Broom, green Broom.”
