Famous quotes containing the words drive and/or violence:

    “We do not want them to have less.

    We drive on, we drive on.
    When we speak to each other our voices are a little gruff.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
