Famous quotes containing the word grand:

    “We had heard of a Grand Fall on this stream, and thought that each fall we came to must be it, but after christening several in succession with this name, we gave up the search. There were more Grand or Petty Falls than I can remember.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
