Famous quotes containing the words high, sheriffs and/or somerset:

    I had a thought for no one’s but your ears:
    That you were beautiful, and that I strove
    To love you in the old high way of love;
    That it had all seemed happy, and yet we’d grown
    As weary-hearted as that hollow moon.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    He is a poor man and has got behind-hand and when that’s the case, there is no staying in the settlements; for those varmints, the sheriffs and constables, are worse than the Indians, because you can kill Indians and you dare not kill the sheriffs.
    —For the State of West Virginia, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    We learn resignation not by our own suffering, but by the suffering of others.
    —W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
