Common Carriers

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or carriers:

    Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He cometh up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.
    —“Burial of the Dead,” first anthem, Book of Common Prayer (1662)

    Nature, doubtless, has some compelling cause
    To glut the carriers of her epidemics—
    Nor did the peach complain.
