Famous quotes containing the words crosses, grand and/or river:

    Life is like walking along a crowded street—there always seem to be fewer obstacles to getting along on the opposite pavement—and yet, if one crosses over, matters are rarely mended.

    This we take it is the grand characteristic of our age. By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management of external things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    Up a lazy river by the old mill run, that lazy, lazy river in the noonday sun.
    Sidney Arodin, U.S. songwriter. “Lazy River,” Peer International Corp. (1931)
