Famous quotes containing the word events:

    “As I look at the human story I see two stories. They run parallel and never meet. One is of people who live, as they can or must, the events that arrive; the other is of people who live, as they intend, the events they create.”
    —Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)

    “I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “When the course of events shall have removed you to distant scenes of action where laurels not nurtured with the blood of my country may be gathered, I shall urge sincere prayers for your obtaining every honor and preferment which may gladden the heart of a soldier.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
