Famous quotes containing the words douglass and/or buck:

    Fit gravefellows you are for Lincoln, Brown
    And Douglass and Toussaint. . . all whose rapt eyes
    Fashioned a new world in this wilderness.
    American earth is richer for your bones;
    Our hearts beat prouder for the blood we inherit.
    Dudley Randall (b. 1914)

    Let woman out of the home, let man into it, should be the aim of education. The home needs man, and the world outside needs woman.
    —Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
