Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or insurance:

    “Twilight and evening bell.
    And after that the dark!
    And may there be no sadness of farewell,
    When I embark;

    For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
    The flood may bear me far,
    I hope to see my Pilot face to face
    When I have crossed the bar.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “For there can be no whiter whiteness than this one:
    An insurance man’s shirt on its morning run.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
