Famous quotes containing the words quiet and/or men:

“Talent develops in quiet places, character in the full current of human life.”

“Let no one think that I do not love the old ministers. They were, probably, the best men in their generation, and they deserve that their biographies should fill the pages of the town histories. If I could but hear the “glad tidings” of which they tell, and which, perchance, they heard, I might write in a worthier strain than this.”
