Welch/people

Famous quotes containing the words welch and/or people:

    He promised
    that life would go on as usual,
    that treaties would be signed, and everyone—
    man, woman and child—would be inoculate
    against a world in which we had no part,
    a world of money, promise and disease.
    —James Welch (b. 1940)

    Some people are like ants. Give them a warm day and a piece of ground and they start digging. There the similarity ends. Ants keep on digging. Most people don’t. They establish contact with the soil, absorb so much vernal vigor that they can’t stay in one place, and desert the fork or spade to see how the rhubarb is coming and whether the asparagus is yet in sight.
    Hal Borland (1900–1978)
