    “Cold an old predicament of the breath:
    Adroit, the shapely prefaces complete,
    Accept the university of death.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “The exquisite art of idleness, one of the most important things that any University can teach.”

    —Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    “Ah! on Thanksgiving day, when from East and from West,
    From North and from South, come the pilgrim and guest,
    When the gray-haired New Englander sees round his board
    The old broken links of affection restored,
    When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,
    And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before.
    What moistens the lip and what brightens the eye?
    What calls back the past, like the rich Pumpkin pie?”
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    “A candidate once called his opponent “a willful, obstinate, unsavory, obnoxious, pusillanimous, pestilential, pernicious, and perversable liar” without pausing for breath, and even his enemies removed their hats.”
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
