Famous quotes containing the words kentucky and/or history:

“The head must bow, and the back will have to bend,
Wherever the darkey may go;
A few more days, and the trouble all will end,
In the field where the sugar-canes grow.
A few more days for to tote the weary load,—
No matter, ‘t will never be light;
A few more days till we totter on the road:—
Then my old Kentucky home, good-night!”
—Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1884)

“Culture, the acquainting ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world, and thus with the history of the human spirit.”
