Country Office

Famous quotes containing the words country and/or office:

“So is the English Parliament provincial. Mere country bumpkins, they betray themselves, when any more important question arises for them to settle, the Irish question, for instance,—the English question why did I not say? Their natures are subdued to what they work in. Their “good breeding” respects only secondary objects.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“If suffering brought wisdom, the dentist’s office would be full of luminous ideas.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
