Famous quotes containing the words collins and/or version:

    All up and down the whole creation,
    Sadly I roam,
    Still longing for the old plantation,
    And for the old folks at home.
    —Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1864)

    I should think that an ordinary copy of the King James version would have been good enough for those Congressmen.
    Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
