Famous quotes containing the words port and/or arthur:

    “When we think back to our forefathers, with their sedentary lives of forest-chopping, railroad-building, fortune-founding, their fox-hunting and Indian taming, their prancing about in the mazurka and the polka, with their coattails flying and their bustles bouncing, to say nothing of their all-day sessions with the port and straight bourbon,... we must realize that we are a nation, not of neurasthenics, but of sissies and slow-motion sports.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “I never guess. It is a shocking habit—destructive to the logical faculty.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
