Famous quotes containing the words tom and/or burke:
“And the Angel told Tom if he’d be a good boy,
He’d have God for his father & never want joy.
And so Tom awoke and we rose in the dark
And got with our bags & our brushes to work.
Tho’ the morning was cold, Tom was happy & warm,
So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“All government—indeed every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue and every prudent act—is founded on compromise and barter.”
