Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, red, hat and/or enterprise:
“My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”

“All is possible,
Who so list believe;
Trust therefore first, and after preve,
As men wed ladies by license and leave,
All is possible.”

“Let’s face it, I have been momentary.
A luxury. A bright red sloop in the harbor,”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“I saw a guide-post surmounted by a pair of moose horns.... They are sometimes used for ornamental hat-trees, together with deer’s horns, in front entries; but ... I trust that I shall have a better excuse for killing a moose than that I may hang my hat on his horns.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Rivers must have been the guides which conducted the footsteps of the first travelers. They are the constant lure, when they flow by our doors, to distant enterprise and adventure; and, by a natural impulse, the dwellers on their banks will at length accompany their currents to the lowlands of the globe, or explore at their invitation the interior of continents.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
