Famous quotes containing the words brave and/or wind:
“This monument, so imposing and tasteful, fittingly typifies the grand and symmetrical character of him in whose honor it has been builded. His was “the arduous greatness of things done.” No friendly hands constructed and placed for his ambition a ladder upon which he might climb. His own brave hands framed and nailed the cleats upon which he climbed to the heights of public usefulness and fame.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“Not only does the wind of accidents stir me according to its blowing, but I am also stirred and troubled by the instability of my attitude.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
