Famous quotes containing the words thomas, walter and/or jennings:

    Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means,

    Though I sang in my chains like the sea.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “Mother” has always been a generic term synonymous with love, devotion, and sacrifice. There’s always been something mystical and reverent about them. They’re the Walter Cronkites of the human race . . . infallible, virtuous, without flaws and conceived without original sin, with no room for ambivalence.
    Erma Bombeck (20th century)

    I’ve never seen a better seaman, but as a man he’s a snake. He doesn’t punish for discipline, he likes to see men crawl. Sometimes I’d like to push his poison down his own throat.
    —Talbot Jennings (1896–1985)
