Famous quotes containing the words river and/or plate:

    “A reaction: a boat which is going against the current but which does not prevent the river from flowing on.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “Say “Yessum” to the ladies, an’ “Yessur” to the men,
    And when they’s company, don’t pass yer plate for pie again;
    But, thinkin’ of the things yer’d like to see upon that tree,
    Jes ‘fore Christmas be as good as yer kin be!”
    —Eugene Field (1850–1895)
