Men Arrived Today

Famous quotes containing the words men, arrived and/or today:

    When men change swords for ledgers, and desert
    The student’s bower for gold, some fears unnamed
    I had, my Country—am I to be blamed?
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    A demanding stranger arrived one morning in a small town and asked a boy on the sidewalk of the main street, “Boy, where’s the post office?”
    “I don’t know.”
    “Well, then, where might the drugstore be?”
    “I don’t know.”
    “How about a good cheap hotel?”
    “I don’t know.”
    “Say, boy, you don’t know much, do you?”
    “No, sir, I sure don’t. But I ain’t lost.”
    William Harmon (b. 1938)

    We have today and I could call their name
    Who know exactly what is out of joint
    To make their verse and their excuses lame.
    They’ve tried to grasp with too much social fact
    Too large a situation.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
