Leg Stand

Famous quotes containing the words leg and/or stand:

    Farmers in overalls and wide-brimmed straw hats lounge about the store on hot summer days, when the most common sound is the thump-thump-thump of a hound’s leg on the floor as he scratches contentedly. Oldtime hunters say that fleas are a hound’s salvation: his constant twisting and clawing in pursuit of the tormentors keeps his joints supple.
    —Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Generalizations, like brooms, ought not to stand in a corner forever; they ought to sweep as a matter of course.
    John Lukacs (b.1924)
