Famous quotes containing the words mutual and/or information:

    I have overlived the generation with which mutual labors & perils begat mutual confidence and influence.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    On the breasts of a barmaid in Sale
    Were tattooed the prices of ale;
    And on her behind
    For the sake of the blind
    Was the same information in Braille.
