Famous quotes containing the words hand, dug and/or wells:
“Pride and humiliation hand in hand
Walked with them through the world where’er they went;
Trampled and beaten were they as the sand,
And yet unshaken as the continent.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
“I do not choose that my grave should be dug while I am still alive.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
“I have always hated biography, and more especially, autobiography. If biography, the writer invariably finds it necessary to plaster the subject with praises, flattery and adulation and to invest him with all the Christian graces. If autobiography, the same plan is followed, but the writer apologizes for it.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
