Famous quotes containing the words smith and/or court:

    Tasting of the sweet damp woods and of the rain one inch above the meadow:

    It was like feasting upon air.

    In government offices which are sensitive to the vehemence and passion of mass sentiment public men have no sure tenure. They are in effect perpetual office seekers, always on trial for their political lives, always required to court their restless constituents.
