Hickory Stick

Famous quotes containing the words hickory and/or stick:

“Lincoln, six feet one in his stocking feet,
The lank man, knotty and tough as a hickory rail,
Whose hands were always too big for white-kid gloves,
Whose wit was a coonskin sack of dry, tall tales,
Whose weathered face was homely as a plowed field.”
—Stephen Vincent Benét (1898–1943)

“Together, hand in hand, with that stick of matches, with our necklace, we shall liberate this country.”
