Famous quotes containing the words present, day and/or peru:
“The present century has not dealt kindly with the farmer. His legends are all but obsolete, and his beliefs have been pared away by the professors at colleges of agriculture. Even the farm- bred bards who twang guitars before radio microphones prefer Im Headin for the Last Roundup to Turkey in the Straw or Father Put the Cows Away.”

“One day perhaps Ill know
What makes you be so lucky in your ratio
One of those more things, could it be? Horatio.”

—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
