Famous quotes containing the words white and/or farmers:
“Less smooth than her Skin and less white than her breast
Was this pollisht stone beneath which she lyes prest
Stop, Reader, and Sigh while thou thinkst on the rest
With a just trim of Virtue her Soul was endu’d
Not affectedly Pious nor secretly lewd,
She cut even between the Cocquet and the Prude.”
—Matthew Prior (1664–1721)
“I find ... virtue to be found amongst the farmers of the country alone, not about courts, where courtiers dwell.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
