Leader David

Famous quotes containing the words leader and/or david:

    A bunch of horsemen curtly asked his name,
    Their leader in a different dialect stated
    A war was on for which he was to blame,
    And he must help them.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    I do not see why, since America and her autumn woods have been discovered, our leaves should not compete with the precious stones in giving names to colors; and, indeed, I believe that in course of time the names of some of our trees and shrubs, as well as flowers, will get into our popular chromatic nomenclature.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
