Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or falls:

    “All men live in suffering
    I know as few can know,
    Whether they take the upper road
    Or stay content on the low....”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    It was a time of madness, the sort of mad-hysteria that always presages war. There seems to be nothing left but war—when any population in any sort of a nation gets violently angry, civilization falls down and religion forsakes its hold on the consciences of human kind in such times of public madness.
    Rebecca Latimer Felton (1835–1930)
