Famous quotes containing the words long and/or tom:

    I long remained a child, and I am still one in many respects.
    Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)

    And the Angel told Tom if he’d be a good boy,
    He’d have God for his father & never want joy.

    And so Tom awoke and we rose in the dark
    And got with our bags & our brushes to work.
    Tho’ the morning was cold, Tom was happy & warm,
    So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
