Hoof Wall

Famous quotes containing the words hoof and/or wall:

    “Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Canada are the horns, the head, the neck, the shins, and the hoof of the ox, and the United States are the ribs, the sirloin, the kidneys, and the rest of the body.”
    —William Cobbett (1762–1835)

    “Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,
    Or close the wall up with our English dead.
    In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
    As modest stillness and humility,
    But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
    Then imitate the action of the tiger.
    Stiffen the sinews, conjure up the blood,
    Disguise fair nature with hard-favoured rage.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
