Famous quotes containing the words frank and/or partridge:
“Let us be frank about it: most of our people have never had it so good.”
—Harold MacMillan (1894–1986)
“The partridge and the rabbit are still sure to thrive, like true natives of the soil, whatever revolutions occur. If the forest is cut off, the sprouts and bushes which spring up afford them concealment, and they become more numerous than ever. That must be a poor country indeed that does not support a hare. Our woods teem with them both.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
