Famous quotes containing the word hill:

    I remember the scenes of battle in which we stood together. I remember especially that broad and deep grave at the foot of the Resaca hill where we left those gallant comrades who fell in that desperate charge. I remember, through it all, the gallantry, devotion and steadfastness, the high-set patriotism you always exhibited.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    headland beyond stormy headland plunging like dolphins through the
    gray sea-smoke
    Into pale sea, look west at the hill of water: it is half the
    planet: this dome, this half-globe, this bulging
    Eyeball of water,
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    One hill will not hold two tigers.
    Chinese proverb.
