Mill Valley Public

Famous quotes containing the words mill, valley and/or public:

    “—First a shiver, and then a thrill,
    Then something decidedly like a spill,—
    And the parson was sitting up on a rock,
    At half-past nine by the meet’n’-house clock,—
    Just the hour of the Earthquake shock!
    MWhat do you think the parson found,
    When he got up and stared around?
    The poor old chaise in a heap or mound,
    As if it had been to the mill and ground!”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

    “Down in the valley,
    Valley so low,
    Hang your head over,
    Hear the train blow.”
    —Unknown. Down in the Valley (l. 1–4)

    “A public man must never forget that he loses his usefulness when he as an individual, rather than his policy, becomes the issue.”
    —Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
