Famous quotes containing the words nose and/or picking:
“All sailors pause to watch a steamer, and shout in welcome or derision. In one a large Newfoundland dog put his paws on the rail and stood up as high as any of them, and looked as wise. But the skipper, who did not wish to be seen no better employed than a dog, rapped him on the nose and sent him below. Such is human justice!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“One may no more live in the world without picking up the moral prejudices of the world than one will be able to go to hell without perspiring.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
