Big Parade

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or parade:

    “Schools of fish come to those who wait patiently; if the big ones don’t come, the little ones will.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “Chaucer’s remarkably trustful and affectionate character appears in his familiar, yet innocent and reverent, manner of speaking of his God. He comes into his thought without any false reverence, and with no more parade than the zephyr to his ear.... There is less love and simple, practical trust in Shakespeare and Milton. How rarely in our English tongue do we find expressed any affection for God! Herbert almost alone expresses it, “Ah, my dear God!””
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
