Famous quotes and sentences with the word saloon.
1
Don Ameche
I never considered acting while growing up. I just knew I didn't want to go into the saloon business: I wanted to get away from Kenosha. And once I left, never, ever did it cross my mind to go back. I went to college and thought I'd study law.
2
Don Ameche
My father ran a saloon in Kenosha, Wis., which is just about as rough a living as I can think of. It was brutal; it scared the hell out of me. I was so petrified all the while I was a child, I didn't know what I was doing half the time.
3
Jimmy Breslin

Susan Glaspell
Declining to go to church with my parents in the morning, I would ostentatiously set out for the Monist Society in the afternoon, down an obscure street which it seemed a little improper to be walking on, as everything was closed for Sunday, upstairs through a sort of side entrance over a saloon.
5
Jon Huntsman, Jr.
I come from a long line of saloon keepers and proselytizers, and I draw from both sides.

The saloon is a liar. It promises good cheer and sends sorrow.
