Famous quotes containing the words richard and/or rogers:

    So on we worked, and waited for the light,
    And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
    And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
    Went home and put a bullet through his head.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    The United States never lost a war or won a conference.
