Lesser General Public

Famous quotes containing the words lesser, general and/or public:

    “So hills and valleys into singing break;
    And though poor stones have neither speech nor tongue,
    While active winds and streams both run and speak,
    Yet stones are deep in admiration.
    Thus praise and prayer here beneath the Sun
    Make lesser mornings when the great are done.”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    “Through the particular, in wartime, I felt the high-voltage current of the general pass.”
