Bright

Famous quotes containing the word bright:

    Shuttles in the rocking loom of history,
    the dark ships move, the dark ships move,
    their bright ironical names
    like jests of kindness on a murderer’s mouth;
    Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home;
    ‘Tis summer, the darkeys are gay;
    The corn-top’s ripe, and the meadow’s in the bloom,
    Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1884)

    In no nation are the institutions of progress more advanced. In no nation are the fruits of accomplishment more secure. In no nation is the government more worthy of respect. No country is more loved by its people. I have an abiding faith in their capacity, integrity and high purpose. I have no fears for the future of our country. It is bright with hope.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
