Van Wert High

Famous quotes containing the words van, wert and/or high:

    Oh, London is a man’s town, there’s power in the air;
    And Paris is a woman’s town, with flowers in her hair;
    And it’s sweet to dream in Venice, and it’s great to study Rome;
    But when it comes to living, there is no place like home.
    —Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)

    O wert thou in the cauld blast,
    On yonder lea, on yonder lea,
    My plaidie to the angry airt,
    I’d shelter thee, I’d shelter thee.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    As a thinker and planner, the ant is the equal of any savage race of men; as a self-educated specialist in several arts, she is the superior of any savage race of men; and in one or two high mental qualities she is above the reach of any man, savage or civilized.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
