Famous quotes containing the words white, oak and/or road:

    “I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,
    On a white heal-all, holding up a moth

    Assorted characters of death and blight”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The road to wisdom?—Well, it’s plain
    and simple to express:
    Err
    and err
    and err again
    but less
    and less
    and less.”
    —Piet Hein (b. 1905)
