Brackett

Famous quotes containing the word brackett:

    To say that a thing has never yet been done among men is to erect a barrier stronger than reason, stronger than discussion.
    —Thomas Brackett Reed (1839–1902)

    Over the mountains of the moon, down the valley of the shadow. Ride, boldly ride, the shade replied, in search of El Dorado.
    —Leigh Brackett (1915–1978)

    Look carefully through all the claims pressing upon you in your complicated life, and decide once and for all what it is that is the one really important and overmastering duty in it, and should be the one dominating aim. Then remember that if you succeed in that, the others, so multifarious, are really no more than the fringe of the garment, and that you need not spend so much anxiety over them, provided that the one most important is faithfully attended to.
    —Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
