Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or figures:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail.

—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The figures of the past go cloaked.
They walk in mist and rain and snow
And go, go slowly, but they go.”
