Famous quotes containing the words china, morning and/or post:
“Riot in Algeria, in Cyprus, in Alabama;
Aged in wrong, the empires are declining,

Mind is the one salvation?—also grammar?—
No; my little ones lean not toward revolt.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage, with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post which any human power can give.”
