Country Boy

Famous quotes containing the words country and/or boy:

    “Our country is the world—our countrymen are all mankind.”
    —William Lloyd Garrison (1805–1879)

    “The boy stood on the burning deck,
    Whence all but he had fled;
    The flame that lit the battle’s wreck,
    Shone round him o’er the dead.

    Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
    As born to rule the storm;
    A creature of heroic blood,
    A proud though childlike form.”
    —Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
