Famous quotes containing the word events:
“By many a legendary tale of violence and wrong, as well as by events which have passed before their eyes, these people have been taught to look upon white men with abhorrence.... I can sympathize with the spirit which prompts the Typee warrior to guard all the passes to his valley with the point of his levelled spear, and, standing upon the beach, with his back turned upon his green home, to hold at bay the intruding European.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
“I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.”
—Abraham Lincoln (18091865)
“All strange and terrible events are welcome,
But comforts we despise.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
