Ryder Pauper Lunatic

Famous quotes containing the words ryder, pauper and/or lunatic:

    The despot’s heel is on thy shore,
    Maryland!
    His torch is at thy temple door,
    Maryland!
    Avenge the patriotic gore
    That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
    And be the battle-queen of yore,
    Maryland! my Maryland!
    —James Ryder Randall (1839–1908)

    It hurts me to hear the tone in which the poor are condemned as “shiftless,” or “having a pauper spirit,” just as it would if a crowd mocked at a child for its weakness, or laughed at a lame man because he could not run, or a blind man because he stumbled.
    Albion Fellows Bacon (1865–1933)

    The lunatic fringe wags the underdog.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
