Famous quotes containing the words crops and/or served:
“Thats funny. That planes dustin crops where they aint no crops.”
—Ernest Lehman (b.1920)
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.”
—Thomas Paine (17371809)
