Frederick August

Famous quotes containing the words frederick and/or august:

    Up rose old Barbara Frietchie then,
    Bowed with her fourscore years and ten;

    Bravest of all in Frederick town,
    She took up the flag the men hauled down;

    That is the thankless position of the father in the family—the provider for all, and the enemy of all.
