Famous quotes containing the words river and/or mouth:
“It is from quiet places like this all over the world that the forces accumulate which presently will overbear any attempt to accomplish evil on a large scale. Like the rivulets gathering into the river, and the river into the seas, there come from communities like this streams that fertilize the consciences of men, and it is the conscience of the world that we are trying to place upon the throne which others would usurp.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“I think it better that in times like these
A poet’s mouth be silent, for in truth
We have no gift to set a statesman right.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
