Famous quotes containing the words north and/or side:

    Only let the North exert as much moral influence over the South, as the South has exerted demoralizing influence over the North, and slavery would die amid the flame of Christian remonstrance, and faithful rebuke, and holy indignation.
    Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)

    He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake;
    And when you think he’s half asleep, he’s always wide awake.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
