Famous quotes containing the words evening and/or post:
“Hide our ignorance as we will, an evening of wine soon reveals it.”
—Heraclitus (c. 535–475 B.C.)
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
