Root Beer Float

Famous quotes containing the words root, beer and/or float:

    “Not marble nor the gilded monuments
    Of princes shall outlive this powerful rime;
    But you shall shine more bright in these contents
    Than unswept stone, besmeared with sluttish time.
    When wasteful war shall statues overturn,
    And broils root out the work of masonry,
    Nor Mars his sword nor war’s quick fire shall burn
    The living record of your memory.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “What two ideas are more inseparable than beer and Britannia?”
    —Sydney Smith (1771–1845)

    “I may be smelly and I may be old,
    Rough in my pebbles, reedy in my pools,
    But where my fish float by I bless their swimming
    And I like the people to bathe in me, especially women.”
    —Stevie Smith (1902–1971)
