Famous quotes containing the words jackson, eagle and/or house:

    The people are the government, administering it by their agents; they are the government, the sovereign power.
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: the way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
    Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 30:18-19.

    From the oracle of Agur, son of Jakeh.

    [My father] was a lazy man. It was the days of independent incomes, and if you had an independent income you didn’t work. You weren’t expected to. I strongly suspect that my father would not have been particularly good at working anyway. He left our house in Torquay every morning and went to his club. He returned, in a cab, for lunch, and in the afternoon went back to the club, played whist all afternoon, and returned to the house in time to dress for dinner.
    Agatha Christie (1891–1976)
