Famous quotes containing the words occasion and/or clare:
“The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“I never saw so sweet a face
As that I stood before:
My heart has left its dwelling-place
And can return no more.”
—John Clare (1793–1864)
