Famous quotes containing the words people and/or perished:

“Conventions, at the present moment, are really menaced. The most striking sign of this is that people are now making unconventionality a social virtue, instead of an unsocial vice. The switches have been opened, and the laden trains must take their chance of a destination.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

“How many councils and decrees
Have perished in the simple prayer
That gave obedience to the knee;”
