Quotes

  • Human thought is like a monstrous pendulum: it keeps swinging from one extreme to the other. Within the compass of five generations we find the Puritan first an uncompromising believer in demonology and magic, and then a scoffer at everything involving the play of fancy.
  • I feel a sort of yearnin' 'nd a chokin' in my throatWhen I think of Red Hoss Mountain 'nd of Casey's tabble dote!
  • He could whip his weight in wildcats.
  • The best of all physiciansIs apple pie and cheese!
  • It always was the biggest fish I caught that got away.
  • When I demanded of my friend what viands he preferred,He quoth: "A large cold bottle, and a small hot bird!"
