Court House Hill

Famous quotes containing the words court, house and/or hill:

    Fortunately for those who pay their court through such foibles, a fond mother, though, in pursuit of praise for her children, the most rapacious of human beings, is likewise the most credulous; her demands are exorbitant; but she will swallow any thing.

    Till having failed at hugger-mugger farming
    He burned his house down for the fire insurance
    And spent the proceeds on a telescope
    To satisfy a lifelong curiosity
    About our place among the infinities.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid.
