Famous quotes containing the words reached and/or final:

    “I stand here tonight to say that we have never known defeat; we have never been vanquished. We have not always reached the goal toward which we have striven, but in the hour of our greatest disappointment we could always point to our battlefield and say: “There we fought our good fight, there we defended the principles for which our ancestors and yours laid down their lives; there is our battlefield for justice, equality and freedom. Where is yours?””
    —Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)

    “The final event to himself has been, that as he rose like a rocket, he fell like the stick.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
