Famous quotes containing the words nicholas and/or works:
“‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads;”
—Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863)
“The noble simplicity in the works of nature only too often originates in the noble shortsightedness of him who observes it.”
