Famous quotes containing the words landmark and/or decisions:

    “They throw in Drummer Hodge, to rest
    Uncoffined—just as found:
    His landmark is a kopje-crest
    That breaks the veldt around;”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “A woman does not have to make decisions based on the need to survive. She can cut through issues, call shots as she sees them.... Many bad decisions are made by men in government because it is good for them personally to make bad public decisions.”
    —Dianne Feinstein (b. 1933)
