Famous quotes containing the words future and/or grant:
“He had been given to behold
The race’s future trial place,
A fresh start for the human race.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“To grant woman an equality with man in the affairs of life is contrary to every tradition, every precedent, every inheritance, every instinct and every teaching. The acceptance of this idea is possible only to those of especially progressive tendencies and a strong sense of justice, and it is yet too soon to expect these from the majority.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
