Field Day

Famous quotes containing the words field and/or day:

“Mine was, as it were, the connecting link between wild and cultivated fields; as some states are civilized, and others half-civilized, and others savage or barbarous, so my field was, though not in a bad sense, a half-cultivated field. They were beans cheerfully returning to their wild and primitive state that I cultivated, and my hoe played the Ranz des Vaches for them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“He might begin the Day of Judgement, but he would probably find himself in the dock long before it was over.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
