Famous quotes containing the words north, fork and/or feather:
“The discovery of the North Pole is one of those realities which could not be avoided. It is the wages which human perseverance pays itself when it thinks that something is taking too long.

—Curtis Siodmak (1902–1988)
“A feather bed had every man,
Warm slippers and hot-water can,
Brown windsor from the captain’s store,
A valet, too, to every four.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
