Famous quotes containing the words battles and/or sea:

    “Elections and politics in this country correspond with battles and war in other times and countries. Whatever of departing evils remains is sure to show itself last in the excitement of political contests.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “The sea was wet as wet could be,
    The sands were dry as dry.
    You could not see a cloud, because
    No cloud was in the sky:
    No birds were flying overhead—
    There were no birds to fly.”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
