Famous quotes containing the words bill and/or thompson:

    “Meantime the education of the general mind never stops. The reveries of the true and simple are prophetic. What the tender poetic youth dreams, and prays, and paints today, but shuns the ridicule of saying aloud, shall presently be the resolutions of public bodies, then shall be carried as grievance and bill of rights through conflict and war, and then shall be triumphant law and establishment for a hundred years, until it gives place, in turn, to new prayers and pictures.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Above the bayonets, mixed and crossed,
    Men saw a gray, gigantic ghost
    Receding through the battle cloud,
    And heard across the tempest loud
    The death cry of a nation lost!”
    —Will Henry Thompson (1848–1918)
