Anniversary Show

Famous quotes containing the words anniversary and/or show:

    The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more
    John Adams (1735–1826)

    You show up
    and you rattle off endearments.
    Lucky Man,
    that’s where your goodness stops,
    and tell me this:
    Who can show somebody
    the workings of the heart
    by tearing it in two?
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
