Lamp Post

Famous quotes containing the words lamp and/or post:

    Life is the lust of a lamp for the light that is dark till the dawn
    of the day when we die.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage, with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post which any human power can give.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
