Famous quotes containing the words nicholas and/or size:

    “‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
    Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
    The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
    In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
    The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
    While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads;”
    —Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863)

    “There are some persons we could not cut down to size without diminishing ourselves as well.”
    —Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
