Famous quotes containing the words mansions, white and/or tiger:
“Gold or silver mansions are not as good as one’s own thatched house.”

With those old faces of our infancy
Heaped over with a mound of grass,
Two handfuls of white dust, shut in an urn of brass!”

Is not more irritable than I.
The whipping tail is not more still
Than when I smell the enemy
Writhing in the essential blood
Or dangling from the friendly tree.”
