Famous quotes containing the words men and/or champions:
“I have seen more men than usual, lately; and, well as I was acquainted with one, I am surprised to find what vulgar fellows they are.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Did all the lets and bars appear
To every just or larger end,
Whence should come the trust and cheer?
Youth must its ignorant impulse lend—
Age finds place in the rear.
All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
The champions and enthusiasts of the state:”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
