Famous quotes containing the words yankee and/or white:

    Yankee Doodle came to London, just to ride the ponies,
    I am a Yankee Doodle boy.
    George M. Cohan (1878–1942)

    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)
