Famous quotes containing the words rural and/or history:
“Some bring a capon, some a rural cake,
Some nuts, some apples; some that think they make
The better cheeses bring ‘em, or else send
By their ripe daughters, whom they would commend
This way to husbands, and whose baskets bear
An emblem of themselves in plum or pear.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“The history of persecution is a history of endeavors to cheat nature, to make water run up hill, to twist a rope of sand.”
