Famous quotes containing the words ford, world, men and/or curling:

    Obviously, it’s a great privilege and pleasure to be here at the Yale Law School Sesquicentennial Convocation. And I defy anyone to say that and chew gum at the same time.
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    Fortunately, the time has long passed when people liked to regard the United States as some kind of melting pot, taking men and women from every part of the world and converting them into standardized, homogenized Americans. We are, I think, much more mature and wise today. Just as we welcome a world of diversity, so we glory in an America of diversity—an America all the richer for the many different and distinctive strands of which it is woven.
    Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)

    Shoals of corpses shall witness, mute, even to generations to come, before the eyes of men that we ought never, being mortal, to cast our sights too high.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

    The sucking milk from this our body sends through
    jolts of light; the son, the father,
    sharing mother’s joy
    That brings a softness to the flower of the awesome
    open curling lotus gate I cup and kiss
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
