Smooth Plains

Famous quotes containing the words smooth and/or plains:

    I have trod a measure, I have flattered a lady, I have
    been politic with my friend, smooth with mine enemy.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The Plains are not forgiving. Anything that is shallow—the easy optimism of a homesteader; the false hope that denies geography, climate, history; the tree whose roots don’t reach ground water—will dry up and blow away.
    Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)
