Famous quotes containing the words east, jefferson and/or ave:
“The East is the hearthside of America. Like any home, therefore, it has the defects of its virtues. Because it is a long-lived-in house, it bursts its seams, is inconvenient, needs constant refurbishing. And some of the family resources have been spent.

—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
“[Tobacco] is a culture productive of infinite wretchedness.... The cultivation of wheat is the reverse in every circumstance.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“And forever, brother, hail and farewell.
[Atque in perpetuum, frater, ave atque vale.]”
—Catullus [Gaius Valerius Catullus] (84–54 B.C.)
