Long Roll

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or roll:

““We must take things more cheerfully than they deserve; especially since we have for a long time taken them more seriously than they deserve.”MThus speak brave soldiers of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
