Famous quotes containing the words cook and/or county:

“From what I have said of the natives of New Holland they may appear to some to be the most wretched people upon earth; but in reality they are far happier than we Europeans, being wholly unacquainted not only with the superfluous, but with the necessary conveniences so much sought after in Europe; they are happy in not knowing the use of them.”
—James, Captain Cook (1728–1779)

“In the county there are thirty-seven churches
and no butcher shop. This could be taken
as a matter of all form and no content.”
