Farmers Branch

Famous quotes containing the words farmers and/or branch:

    Why should all virtue work in one and the same way? Why should all give dollars? It is very inconvenient to us country folk, and we do not think any good will come of it. We have not dollars; merchants have; let them give them. Farmers will give corn; poets will sing; women will sew; laborers will lend a hand; the children will bring flowers.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    That man’s the true Conservative
    Who lops the mouldered branch away.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
