Brooks Men

Famous quotes containing the words brooks and/or men:

“I have eased
My dim dears at the breasts they could never suck.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay:
Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade;
A breath can make them, as a breath has made;
But a bold peasantry, their country’s pride,
When once destroyed, can never be supplied.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
