General Ross

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or ross:

    We all have known
    Good critics, who have stamped out poet’s hopes;
    Good statesmen, who pulled ruin on the state;
    Good patriots, who, for a theory, risked a cause;
    Good kings, who disembowelled for a tax;
    Good Popes, who brought all good to jeopardy;
    Good Christians, who sat still in easy-chairs;
    And damned the general world for standing up.—
    Now, may the good God pardon all good men!
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    If we did not have such a thing as an airplane today, we would probably create something the size of N.A.S.A. to make one.
    —H. Ross Perot (b. 1930)
