Famous quotes containing the words john and/or walsh:

    Show me a man who feels bitterly toward John Brown, and let me hear what noble verse he can repeat. He’ll be as dumb as if his lips were stone.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    That a lover forsaken
    A new love may get;
    But a neck, when once broken,
    Can never be set:
    And, that he could die
    Whenever he would;
    But, that he could live
    But as long as he could;
    —William Walsh (1663–1708)
