Famous quotes containing the words smooth, rock and/or falls:

    You have constantly urged the idea that you were persecuted because you did not come from West-Point, and you repeat it in these letters. This, my dear general, is I fear, the rock on which you have split.

    Dark as the world of man, black as our loss—

    Upon the Cross.
