Famous quotes containing the words trumpet and/or history:
“For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?”
—Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in 1 Corinthians, 14:8.
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
