Bears

Famous quotes containing the word bears:

    Where has it all gone? I remember that twenty years ago there were geese and cranes and ducks and grouse here, clouds of them!... And there are far fewer animals. Wolf and fox are rare, brother, not to mention bears or mink. There used even to be moose!
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    This war no longer bears the characteristics of former inter-European conflicts. It is one of those elemental conflicts which usher in a new millennium and which shake the world once in a thousand years.
    Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)

    For granting we have sinned, and that the offence
    Of man is made against Omnipotence,
    Some price that bears proportion must be paid,
    And infinite with infinite be weighed.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
