Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or stock:

    They mean to tell us all was rolling blind
    Till accidentally it hit on mind
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    And anyone is free to condemn me to death
    If he leaves it to nature to carry out the sentence.
    I shall will to the common stock of air my breath
    And pay a death tax of fairly polite repentance.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
