Famous quotes containing the words born and/or south:
“Nothing begins, and nothing ends,
That is not paid with moan,
For we are born in other’s pain,
And perish in our own.”
—Francis Thompson (1859–1907)
“The cloud was so dark that it needed all the bright lights that could be turned upon it. But for four years there was a contagion of nobility in the land, and the best blood North and South poured itself out a libation to propitiate the deities of Truth and Justice. The great sin of slavery was washed out, but at what a cost!”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
