Famous quotes containing the words lady and/or luck:
““No, not another song,” said he,

A year ago for the first time
At midnight to my room,
And I must lie between the sheets
When the clock begins to chime.””

“The natural historian is not a fisherman who prays for cloudy days and good luck merely; but as fishing has been styled “a contemplative man’s recreation,” introducing him profitably to woods and water, so the fruit of the naturalist’s observations is not in new genera or species, but in new contemplations still, and science is only a more contemplative man’s recreation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
