Famous quotes containing the words stories and/or spring:
“There have been many stories told about the bottom, or rather no bottom, of this pond, which certainly had no foundation for themselves. It is remarkable how long men will believe in the bottomlessness of a pond without taking the trouble to sound it.”

“Honour, thou first didst close
The spring of all delight,
Denying water to the amorous thirst;”
