Brown Summer Coat

Famous quotes containing the words brown, summer and/or coat:

    He who never sacrificed a present to a future good or a personal to a general one can speak of happiness only as the blind do of colors.
    —Olympia Brown (1835–1900)

    Through winter-time we call on spring,
    And through the spring on summer call,
    And when abounding hedges ring
    Declare that winter’s best of all;
    And after that there’s nothing good
    Because the spring-time has not come....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    He will watch you while you work, and always has a good word to say or a quip to snap at you to keep you cheered up, but when it comes to taking off his coat and lending a hand,... he is an Oriental incense-holder on the guest-room mantle.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
