Famous quotes containing the words remembered and/or eloquence:

    A: You have never forgotten a grievance or remembered a favor. B: What favor?
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    The Gettysburg speech is at once the shortest and the most famous oration in American history. Put beside it, all the whoopings of the Websters, Sumners and Everetts seem gaudy and silly. It is eloquence brought to a pellucid and almost gem-like perfection—the highest emotion reduced to a few poetical phrases.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
