Laurence Marks

Famous quotes containing the words laurence and/or marks:

    We sing, but oh the clay is vile
    Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
    But let the world dream otherwise,
    We wear the mask!
    —Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872–1906)

    I am glad I made the late race. It gave me a hearing on the great and durable question of the age, which I could have had in no other way; and though I now sink out of view, and shall be forgotten, I believe I have made some marks which will tell for the cause of civil liberty long after I am gone.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
