Famous quotes containing the words control and/or store:

    “Who can control his fate?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Farmers in overalls and wide-brimmed straw hats lounge about the store on hot summer days, when the most common sound is the thump-thump-thump of a hound’s leg on the floor as he scratches contentedly. Oldtime hunters say that fleas are a hound’s salvation: his constant twisting and clawing in pursuit of the tormentors keeps his joints supple.”
    —Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
