Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or people:

    In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail.

    —For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
