Creative Quotations from Washington Irving ( ) born on Apr 3 US short-story writer; wrote Rip Van Winkle" & Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Modern authors repair, and draw buckets full of classic lore, or pure English, undefiled wherewith to swell their own scanty rills of thought.

They who drink beer will think beer.

A barking dog is often more useful than a sleeping lion.

There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse… a comfort to shift one's position and be bruised in a new place.

There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire… which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.
