Famous quotes containing the word remains:
“What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Nothing stands out so conspicuously, or remains so firmly fixed in the memory, as something which you have blundered.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“The accent of a man’s native country remains in his mind and his heart, as it does in his speech.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
