Famous quotes containing the words patten and/or report:
“There is a sort of exotic preposterousness about a lot of elections, the way arguments are made even cruder.”
—Chris Patten (b. 1944)
“There was ... a large, shaggy dog, whose nose, report said, was full of porcupine quills. I can testify that he looked very sober. This is the usual fortune of pioneer dogs, for they have to face the brunt of the battle for their race.... When a generation or two have used up all their enemies’ darts, their successors lead a comparatively easy life. We owe to our fathers analogous blessings.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
