Ancient Oaks

Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or oaks:

    A bronzed, lank man! His suit of ancient black,
    A famous high top-hat and plain worn shawl
    Make him the quaint great figure that men love,
    The prairie-lawyer, master of us all.
    Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)

    He that depends
    Upon your favors swims with fins of lead,
    And hews down oaks with rushes.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
