Roast Goose

Famous quotes containing the words roast and/or goose:

    I [Boswell] ... insisted that admiration was more pleasing than judgment, as love is more pleasing than friendship.

    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    Hey, diddle, diddle,
    The cat and the fiddle,
    The cow jumped over the moon;
    The little dog laughed
    To see such sport,
    And the dish ran away with the spoon.
    —Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. Hey, diddle, diddle (l. 1–6)
