Famous quotes containing the words common and/or elements:

    It is a common saying, and in everybody’s mouth, that life is but a sojourn.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    An illustrious individual remarks that Mrs. [Elizabeth Cady] Stanton is the salt, Anna Dickinson the pepper, and Miss [Susan B.] Anthony the vinegar of the Female Suffrage movement. The very elements get the “white male” into a nice pickle.
