Famous quotes containing the words surviving and/or examples:

    For my own part, I commonly attend more to nature than to man, but any affecting human event may blind our eyes to natural objects. I was so absorbed in him as to be surprised whenever I detected the routine of the natural world surviving still, or met persons going about their affairs indifferent.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
