Famous quotes containing the words special and/or forces:

    “And weren’t there special cemetery flowers,
    That, once grief sets to growing, grief may rest:
    The flowers will go on with grief awhile,
    And no one seem neglecting or neglected?
    A prudent grief will not despise such aids.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “I don’t think that a leader can control to any great extent his destiny. Very seldom can he step in and change the situation if the forces of history are running in another direction.”
    —Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
