Famous quotes containing the words greater and/or cleveland:
“I did not know that thou wert dead before;
I did not feel the grief I did sustain;
The greater stroke astonisheth the more;
Astonishment takes from us sense of pain.
I stood amazed when other’s tears begun,
And now begin to weep when they have done.”
—Henry Constable (1562–1613)
“Sometimes I wake at night in the White House and rub my eyes and wonder if it is not all a dream.”
—Grover Cleveland (1837–1908)
