Famous quotes containing the words putting and/or green:
“Trade and commerce, if they were not made of India-rubber, would never manage to bounce over the obstacles which legislators are continually putting in their way; and, if one were to judge these men wholly by the effects of their actions and not partly by their intentions, they would deserve to be classed and punished with those mischievous persons who put obstructions on the railroads.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Love to chawnk green apples an go swimmin in the

Hate to take the castor-ile they give for belly-ache!
Most all the time, the whole year round, there aint no flies on
me,
But jest fore Christmas Im as good as I kin be!”
—Eugene Field (18501895)
