Die Roll

Famous quotes containing the words die and/or roll:

    “Oh, the fighting races don’t die out,
    If they seldom die in bed,
    For love is first in their hearts, no doubt,”
    Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)

    Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
