Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or abraham:

    “She comes! She comes! The sable throne behold
    Of Night primaeval, and of Chaos old!”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “What makes the United States government, on the whole, more tolerable—I mean for us lucky white men—is the fact that there is so much less of government with us.... But in Canada you are reminded of the government every day. It parades itself before you. It is not content to be the servant, but will be the master; and every day it goes out to the Plains of Abraham or to the Champs de Mars and exhibits itself and toots.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
