Famous quotes containing the word folks:
“When civil fury first grew high,
And men fell out, they knew not why;
When hard words, jealousies, and fears,
Set folks together by the ears,
And made them fight, like mad or drunk,
For Dame Religion, as for punk;”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
“The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee shore.”
—Irving Caesar (b. 1895)
