Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or revolution:

    I shall smile when wreaths of snow
    Blossom where the rose should grow;
    I shall sing when night’s decay
    Ushers in a drearier day.
    Emily Brontë (1818–1848)

    I see every day more clearly the value, necessity, and sanative qualities of the three B’s: Bench, Ballot, Barricade.
