Rogers/places

Famous quotes containing the words rogers and/or places:

    Mine be a cot beside the hill;
    A bee-hive’s hum shall soothe my ear;
    A willowy brook, that turns a mill,
    With many a fall shall linger near.
    —Samuel Rogers (1763–1855)

    Why needs a man be rich? Why must he have horses, fine garments, handsome apartments, access to public houses, and places of amusement? Only for want of thought.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
