Famous quotes containing the words remembered and/or eloquence:
“The remarkable thing is that it is the crowded life that is most easily remembered. A life full of turns, achievements, disappointments, surprises, and crises is a life full of landmarks. The empty life has even its few details blurred, and cannot be remembered with certainty.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“‘Tis base to plead the unhappy prisoner’s cause,
With eloquence that’s bought.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
