Famous quotes containing the words granite and/or city:

    “I make myself this time
    Of wood or granite or lime
    A wall too hard for crime
    Either to breach or climb....”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
