Famous quotes containing the words surviving and/or examples:
“For my own part, I commonly attend more to nature than to man, but any affecting human event may blind our eyes to natural objects.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
