Sweet Grass County

Famous quotes containing the words sweet, grass and/or county:

    Though news be sad, yet tell them merrily;
    If good, thou shamest the music of sweet news
    By playing it to me with so sour a face.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Believing: it means believing in our own lies. And I can say that I am grateful that I got this lesson very early.
    —Günther Grass (b. 1927)

    I know this well, that if one thousand, if one hundred, if ten men whom I could name,—if ten honest men only,—ay, if one HONEST man, in this State of Massachusetts, ceasing to hold slaves, were actually to withdraw from this copartnership, and be locked up in the county jail therefor, it would be the abolition of slavery in America. For it matters not how small the beginning may seem to be: what is once well done is done forever.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
