Famous quotes containing the word features:

    “Art is the child of Nature; yes,
    Her darling child, in whom we trace
    The features of the mother’s face,
    Her aspect and her attitude.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    “Each reader discovers for himself that, with respect to the simpler features of nature, succeeding poets have done little else than copy his similes.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
