Famous quotes containing the words nicholas and/or williams:

    “‘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)

    “We are only mortal
    but being mortal
    can defy our fate.
    We may
    by an outside chance
    even win!”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
