Famous quotes containing the words inscription on, inscription and/or tomb:

    ““I love you” is the inscription on Pandora’s box.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Gratefully accepting the proffered honor, [to inscribe a new legal work to him] I give the leave, begging only that the inscription may be in modest terms, not representing me as a man of great learning, or a very extraordinary one in any respect.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “Let no man write my epitaph; for as no man who knows my motives dare now vindicate them, let not prejudice or ignorance asperse them. Let them rest in obscurity and peace! Let my memory be left in oblivion, my tomb remain uninscribed, until other times and other men can do justice to my character.”
    —Robert Emmet (1778–1803)
