Famous quotes containing the word foss:

    “There are hermit souls that live withdrawn
    In the place of their self-content;
    There are souls like stars, that dwell apart,
    In a fellowless firmament;
    There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths
    Where highways never ran—”
    —Sam Walter Foss (1858–1911)

    “Let me live in my house by the side of the road—
    It’s here the race of men go by.
    They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong
    Wise, foolish—so am I;”
    —Sam Walter Foss (1858–1911)
