Spencer

Famous quotes containing the word spencer:

    Whether in the bringing of the flowers or the food
    She offers plenty, and is part of plenty,
    And whether I see her stooping, or leaning with the flowers,
    What she does is ages old, and she is not simply,
    No, but lovely in that way.
    —Bernard Spencer (1909–1963)

    —Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

    Science is organized knowledge.
    —Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
