Famous quotes containing the words meeting and/or house:
“No one over thirty-five is worth meeting who has not something to teach us,—something more than we could learn for ourselves, from a book.”

That spreading in the evening air both ways
Makes the new moon look anything but new
And pours the elm-tree meadow full of blue,
Is all the smoke from one poor house alone....”
