Famous quotes containing the words swift and/or river:
“Triumphant Tories, and desponding Whigs,
Forget their feuds, and join to save their wigs.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“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)
