Porter

Famous quotes containing the word porter:

“Do you think the porter and the cook have no anecdotes, no experiences, no wonders for you? Every body knows as much as the savant. The walls of rude minds are scrawled all over with facts, with thoughts. They shall one day bring a lantern and read the inscriptions.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“But at my back from time to time I hear
The sound of horns and motors, which shall bring
Sweeney to Mrs. Porter in the spring.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

“If you want to buy my wares
Follow me and climb the stairs ...
Love for sale.”
—Cole Porter (1893–1964)
