Famous quotes containing the word facing:

    And how can man die better
    Than facing fearful odds,
    For the ashes of his fathers,
    And the temples of his Gods?
    Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    You know all my life I’ve hated funerals. The fuss and bother never brings anybody back. It just spoils remembering them as they really are. And when I see people actually facing it that way, I have to act like a sap.
    Jules Furthman (1888–1960)

    Stupidity, outrage, vanity, cruelty, iniquity, bad faith, falsehood—we fail to see the whole array when it is facing in the same direction as we.
    Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
