Famous quotes containing the words wells and/or culture:
“But where can we draw water,

When all the wells are parched away?

Theres nothing but our own red blood
Can make a right Rose Tree.”

“Let a man attain the highest and broadest culture that any American has possessed, then let him die by sea-storm, railroad collision, or other accident, and all America will acquiesce that the best thing has happened to him; that, after the education has gone far, such is the expensiveness of America, that the best use to put a fine person to is to drown him to save his board.”
