Famous quotes containing the word lead:

    Anybody can lead a frivolous life. A frivolous writer, however, must have taste and intelligence.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Events, actions arise, that must be sung, that will sing themselves. Who can doubt, that poetry will revive and lead in a new age, as the star in the constellation Harp, which now flames in our zenith, astronomers announce, shall one day be the pole- star for a thousand years?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
