Heel Stone

Famous quotes containing the words heel and/or stone:

    Poor men have grown to be rich men,
    And rich men grown to be poor again,
    And I am running to Paradise;
    And many a darling wit’s grown dull
    That tossed a bare heel when at school,
    Now it has filled an old sock full....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Most of the stone a nation hammers goes toward its tomb only. It buries itself alive.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
