Famous quotes containing the words main, towns, cities and/or served:

    “Of all wit’s uses, the main one
    Is to live well with who has none.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Haven’t you heard, though,
    About the ships where war has found them out
    At sea, about the towns where war has come
    Through opening clouds at night with droning speed
    Further o’erhead than all but stars and angels
    And children in the ships and in the towns?”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “1st Murderer. Where’s thy conscience now?...
    2nd Murderer. I’ll not meddle with it. It makes a man a coward.... It fills a man full of obstacles. It made me once restore a purse of gold that by chance I found. It beggars any man that keeps it. It is turned out of towns and cities for a dangerous thing, and every man that means to live well endeavors to trust to himself and live without it.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Certain it is that scandal is good brisk talk, whereas praise of one’s neighbour is by no means lively hearing. An acquaintance grilled, scored, devilled, and served with mustard and cayenne pepper excites the appetite; whereas a slice of cold friend with currant jelly is but a sickly, unrelishing meat.”
    —William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)
