Uncle Green

Famous quotes containing the words uncle and/or green:

    If Uncle Sam should ever sell that tract for one cent per acre, he will swindle the purchaser outrageously.
    State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    He hangs in shades the orange bright,
    Like golden lamps in a green night,
    And does in the pomegranates close
    Jewels more rich than Ormus shows;
    He makes the figs our mouths to meet,
    And throws the melons at our feet;
    But apples plants of such a price
    No tree could ever bear them twice.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
