A nightcap decked his brows instead of bay,
A cap by night — a stocking all the day!

Description of an Author's Bedchamber (1760).Oliver Goldsmith
» Oliver Goldsmith - all quotes »
I saw thee in a vision of the night
Transfigured; for it seemed that on thy brows
The heavens did rest with all their stars, like boughs
Laden with blossoms; round thy feet the bright
Green waves, like grass, ran rippling, strewn with white
Star-fragments of rent petals: wasted vows,
And ruined prayers I thought them, such as house
In hearts that love and are not loved aright.John Evelyn Barlas
A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer.
Mitch Hedberg
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now, Heaven knows,
Anything goes.Cole Porter
Menippus is a bird decked in various feathers which are not his. He neither says nor feels anything, but repeats the feelings and sayings of others; it is so natural for him to make use of other people’s minds that he is the first deceived by it, and often believes he speaks his own mind or expresses his own thoughts when he is but the echo of some man he just parted with.
Jean de La Bruyere
Whether I'm a Super Bowl Champion or a regular guy stocking groceries at the Hy-Vee, sharing my faith and glorifying Jesus is the central focus of my time on this earth.
