Famous quotes containing the words broken and/or silence:
“Iron are our lives
Molten right through our youth.
A burnt space through ripe fields
A fair mouth’s broken tooth.”
—Isaac Rosenberg (1890–1918)
“I have a talent for silence and brevity. I can keep silent when it seems best to do so, and when I speak I can, and do usually, quit when I am done. This talent, or these two talents, I have cultivated. Silence and concise, brief speaking have got me some laurels, and, I suspect, lost me some. No odds. Do what is natural to you, and you are sure to get all the recognition you are entitled to.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
