Famous quotes containing the words robert, memorial and/or lecture:

    Where do you think you’re going? Eddie? You owe memoney.
    Sydney Carroll, U.S. screenwriter, and Robert Rossen. Bert Gordon (George C. Scott)

    I hope there will be no effort to put up a shaft or any monument of that sort in memory of me or of the other women who have given themselves to our work. The best kind of a memorial would be a school where girls could be taught everything useful that would help them to earn an honorable livelihood; where they could learn to do anything they were capable of, just as boys can. I would like to have lived to see such a school as that in every great city of the United States.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    I find quite as much material for a lecture in those points wherein I have failed, as in those wherein I have been moderately successful.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
