Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or continent:

    These are the arks, the trophies, I erect,
    That fortify thy name against old age;
    And these thy sacred virtues must protect
    Against the dark and Time’s consuming rage.
    Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    What a prodigious growth this English race, especially the American branch of it, is having! How soon will it subdue and occupy all the wild parts of this continent and of the islands adjacent. No prophecy, however seemingly extravagant, as to future achievements in this way [is] likely to equal the reality.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
