Procession/history

Famous quotes containing the words procession and/or history:

    By the bivouac’s fitful flame,
    A procession winding around me, solemn and sweet and slow
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    The history of his present majesty, is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations ... all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
