Famous quotes containing the words cheltenham and/or history:

    “Here lies I and my three daughters,
    Killed by drinking the Cheltenham waters.
    If we had stuck to our Epsom salts
    We’d not be lying in these vaults.”
    —Anonymous. From H. J. Loaring’s Curious Records (1872)

    “In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
