Famous quotes containing the words mountain, rescue and/or team:

Imperfectly concealed among the leaves.”

“They’re two good old friends of mine. I call them Constitution and The Bill of Rights. A most dependable team for long journeys. Then I’ve got another one called Missouri Compromise. And a Supreme Court—a fine, dignified horse, though you have to push him on every now and then.”
