“We view ourselves on the eve of battle. We are nerved for the contest, and must conquer or perish. It is vain to look for present aid: none is at hand. We must now act or abandon all hope! Rally to the standard, and be no longer the scoff of mercenary tongues! Be men, be free men, that your children may bless their father's name.”
Sam Houston
“You wouldn't believe On All Hallow Eve What lots of fun we can make, With apples to bob, And nuts on the hob,And a ring-and-thimble cake.”
Carolyn Wells
“Can an ass be tragic? To perish under a burden one can neither bear nor throw off? The case of the philosopher.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“The word that is heard perishes, but the letter that is written remains.”
Proverb
“Adam and Eve had many advantages but the principal one was, that they escaped teething”
Mark Twain
“[Before opening an envelope for best supporting actress] I feel like Adam when he said to Eve, `Back up, I don't know how big this gets.”
Robin Williams
“When a nation goes down, or a society perishes, one condition may always be found; they forgot where they came from. They lost sight of what had brought them along.”
Carl Sandburg
