Mile High Malt

Famous quotes containing the words mile, high and/or malt:

“For half a mile from the shore it was one mass of white breakers, which, with the wind, made such a din that we could hardly hear ourselves speak.... This was the stormiest sea that we witnessed,—more tumultuous, my companion affirmed, than the rapids of Niagara, and, of course, on a far greater scale. It was the ocean in a gale, a clear, cold day, with only one sail in sight, which labored much, as if it were anxiously seeking a harbor.... It was the roaring sea, thalassa exeessa.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Optimism is the content of small men in high places.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

“And malt does more than Milton can
To justify God’s ways to man.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
