Famous quotes containing the words nicholas and/or meyer:

    ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
    Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
    The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
    In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
    The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
    While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads;
    Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863)

    The world is not merely the world. It is our world. It is not merely an industrial world. It is, above all things, a human world.
    —Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
