Deaf Smith County

Famous quotes containing the words deaf, smith and/or county:

    Who is so deaf or so blind as he
    That wilfully will neither hear nor see?
    16th century English proverb, collected in J. Heywood, Dialogue of Proverbs (1546)

    To found a great empire for the sole purpose of raising up a people of customers, may at first sight appear a project fit only for a nation of shopkeepers. It is, however, a project altogether unfit for a nation of shopkeepers, but extremely fit for a nation that is governed by shopkeepers.
    —Adam Smith (1723–1790)

    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.
    Maxine Kumin (b. 1925)
