City Boy

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or boy:

    Overcome the Empyrean; hurl
    Heaven and Earth out of their places,
    That in the same calamity
    Brother and brother, friend and friend,
    Family and family,
    City and city may contend.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    But a dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down—very important traits in times like these. In fact, just as soon as a dog comes along who, in addition to these qualities, also knows when to buy and sell stocks, he can be moved right up to the boy’s bedroom and the boy can sleep in the dog house.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
