Light Colored

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or colored:

    With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls,
    For stony limits cannot hold love out,
    And what love can do, that dares love attempt.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If a liberal policy towards the late Rebels is adopted, the ultra Republicans are opposed to it; if the colored people are honored, the extremists of the other wing cry out against it. I suspect I am right in both cases.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
