• After her came jolly June, arrayed
  All in green leaves, as he a player were;
  Yet in his time he wrought as well as played,
  That by his plough-irons mote right well appear.
  Upon a crab he rode, that did him bear,
  With crooked crawling steps, an uncouth pace,
  And backward rode, as bargemen wont to fare,
  Bending their force contrary to their face;
  Like that ungracious crew which feigns demurest grace.

  Edmund Spenser

  Spring, Player, June

• Birth is beastly - and death - and digestion, if it comes to that. Sometimes when I think of what's happening inside me to a beautiful suprème de sole, with the caviare in boats, and the croûtons and the jolly little twists of potato and all the gadgets - I could cry. But there it is, don't you know.

  Dorothy L. Sayers

• Oh for a book and a shady nook, Either indoors or out, with the green leaves whispering overhead, or the street cries all about. Where I may read at all my ease both of the new and old, For a jolly good book whereon to look is better to me than gold

  John Wilson

• Give to me the life I love, Let the lave go by me, Give the jolly heaven above And the byway nigh me. Bed in the bush with the stars to see, Bread I dip in the river There's the life for a man like me, There's the life for ever.

• Creo que un estado joven, como una virgen joven, debe permanecer modestamente en casa y esperar la solicitud de los pretendientes para aliarse con ella, y no correr por ahí ofreciendo su amistad a todo el mundo y arriesgándose a que la rechacen. Nuestra virgen es alegre; y aunque en la actualidad no es muy rica, con el tiempo será una gran fortuna, y donde ella tiene una predisposición favorable, me parece que vale la pena cultivarla.

  Benjamin Franklin

• "Smooth Sailing" and "Hall of Fame" are my top two nicknames. "Cool Guy." "Jolly Jon." "Fun Jon." There's a lot of derivatives of Jon. "Cool Jon." Some people took "Smooth Sailing" and "Fun Jon" and made "Smooth Jon." That's a good one. It's just starting to catch on with the general public. Just every now and then, "Hey! Smooth Jon!" Or "You're Smooth Jon, right?!" People aren't quite sure. I'm like, "Yeah." "Okay, cool, that's what I thought!"

• Scouting is not an abstruse or difficult science: rather it is a jolly game if you take it in the right light. In the same time it is educative, and (like Mercy) it is apt to benefit him that giveth as well as him that receives.

• La fantasía no es sólo una evasión alegre: es una evasión, pero hacia algo mucho más extremo que la realidad, o la normalidad. Es donde las cosas son más bellas, más maravillosas y más terroríficas. Te adentras en un mundo de extremos contradictorios.

• I’m frightened of eggs, worse than frightened; they revolt me. That round white thing without any holes, and when you break it, inside there’s that yellow thing, round, without any holes… Brrr! Have you ever seen anything more revolting than an egg yolk breaking and spilling its yellow liquid? Blood is jolly, red. But egg yolk is yellow, revolting. I’ve never tasted it.

  Alfred Hitchcock

• Sopla, sopla, viento de invierno, No eres tan cruel como la ingratitud del hombre Tu diente no es tan afilado, Porque no eres visto, Aunque tu aliento sea rudo. La mayoría de la amistad es fingida, la mayoría del amor es mera locura. Entonces saluda al acebo Esta vida es muy alegre. Congela, congela, cielo amargo, que no muerdes tan cerca como los beneficios olvidados, aunque las aguas se deformen, tu aguijón no es tan agudo como el amigo no recordado.

  William Shakespeare

• Why it is that a garment which is honestly attractive in, say, 1910 should be honestly ridiculous a few years later and honestly charming again a few years later still is one of those things which are not satisfactorily to be explained and are therefore jolly and exciting and an addition to the perennial interest of life.

• The landscape was snow and green ice on broken mountains. These weren't old mountains, worn down by time and weather and full of gentle ski slopes, but young, sulky, adolescent mountains. They held secret ravines and merciless crevices. One yodel out of place would attract, not the jolly echo of a lonely goatherd, but fifty tons of express-delivery snow.

• It's been just a year since the RNC committed to revamp the way they help our candidates with its 'Growth and Opportunity Project,' and already there are signs of improvement. From new leadership and initiatives in the digital arena, to improving the GOP ground game (as we just saw with David Jolly's victory in FL-13), to the historic decision to restructure the primary calendar and primary debates, the RNC's steps will help keep the House and to take the Senate in 2014, win the White House in 2016, and build for the future. Looking forward to more progress in the months ahead.

• O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit Beneath my shady roof; there thou may'st rest, And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe; And all the daughters of the year shall dance! Sing now the lusty song of fruit and flowers.
