Famous quotes containing the words hot and/or springs:
“What a hot theopathy
Roisters through her, gnaws the walls....”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“...many men choose a wife amid the deft-fingered clerks in preference to the society misses. The woman clerk has studied the value of concentration, learned the lesson that incites to work when a burden bears heavily upon her strength. She knows the word of self- reliance, and the fine courage that springs from the consciousness that a good result has been accomplished by a well-directed effort.”
—Clara (Marquise)
