Oak Road

Famous quotes containing the words oak and/or road:

    Alas for America as I must so often say, the ungirt, the diffuse, the profuse, procumbent, one wide ground juniper, out of which no cedar, no oak will rear up a mast to the clouds! It all runs to leaves, to suckers, to tendrils, to miscellany. The air is loaded with poppy, with imbecility, with dispersion, & sloth.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    A broad-backed ox can be driven straight on his road even by a small goad.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
