Famous quotes containing the word sherwood:

    The House of Lords, architecturally, is a magnificent room, and the dignity, quiet, and repose of the scene made me unwillingly acknowledge that the Senate of the United States might possibly improve its manners. Perhaps in our desire for simplicity, absence of title, or badge of office we may have thrown over too much.
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    There are no such oysters, terrapin, or canvas-back ducks as there were in those days; the race is extinct. It is strange how things degenerate.... I passed, the other day, the deserted house of Mrs. Gerry, which I used to think so lordly. It stands alone now amid the surrounding sky-scrapers, and reminds me of Don Quixote going out to fight the windmills. It should always remain to mark the difference between the past and the present.
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    The American is said to become full-flavored, and in time a most all-round man, through the polish which Europe can impart.
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
