European Brown Bear

Famous quotes containing the words european, brown and/or bear:

    I can never suppose this country so far lost to all ideas of self-importance as to be willing to grant America independence; if that could ever be adopted I shall despair of this country being ever preserved from a state of inferiority and consequently falling into a very low class among the European States.

    Slavery is malignantly aristocratic.
    —Antoinette Brown Blackwell (1825–1921)

    I bear a burden that might well try
    Men that do all by rule,
    And what can I
    That am a wandering-witted fool
    But pray to God that He ease
    My great responsibilities?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
