City Boy

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or boy:

    When the city gate catches fire, it’s the fish in the moat who suffer.
    Chinese proverb.

    O, pluck was he to the backbone and clear grit through and through;
    Boasted and bragged like a trooper; but the big words wouldn’t do;
    The boy was dying, sir, dying, as plain as plain could be,
    Worn out by his ride with Morgan up from the Tennessee.
    Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894)
